Setback for Jagan as two Rajya Sabha MPs resign from YSRCP

The two MPs – Mopidevi Venkataramana and Beeda Mastan Rao – wrote separate letters to party president and former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, citing “personal reasons” for their resignations.

Venkataramana and Mastan Rao met Vice-President and Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and submitted separate resignation letters. Dhankhar later accepted their resignations with immediate effect, people familiar with the matter said.

Venkataramana’s term in Rajya Sabha was set to expire in June 2026, while Mastan Rao’s term was scheduled to end in June 2028.
