Is Pranab Mukherjee supporting Y.S. Jagan?

Y.S. Jagan is frequently communicating with Central Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee. Kadapa MP even met Pranab for couple of times secretly in last two months.

As per the sources, Jagan has been meeting Congress senior leader Pranab secretly. His last meeting was at the time of TDPs no-confidence motion in Assembly. Delhi sources also said that Jagan has met few Congress big leaders Sonia Gandhi’s political advisor, Ahmad Patel, Andhra Pradesh state in-charge, Gulam Nabi Azad etc. MIM MP Owaisi is helping Jagan to communicate with top Congress leaders in Delhi.

It’s not easy to convince Pranab because he is very practical and he can understand the things very well. He is popular for strategies and several opposition leaders made comments that Pranab is behind the drama of Lokpal bill in Rajya Sabha.

Jagan and Pranab have good relationship since 2009. Pranab played a major role in proposing Rosaiah’s name as CM by Jagan in the CLP meeting after YSR’s death. Few Congress sources say Pranab seriously warned Sonia and other Congress leaders while Jagan leaving the party because Pranab know facts and charisma of Jagan. In an interview, Jagan clearly stated that if time comes then he will definitely support UPA in future. After Kadapa elections, Congress identified that it needs Jagan support in Andhra Pradesh for the next elections to form the government.
