Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy welcomed Ganji Chiranjeevi by draping the party shawl around him.
Ganji Chiranjeevi, former Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader from Mangalagiri Assembly constituency, on August 29, joined the YSR Congress Party in the presence of Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and local MLA Alla Ramakrishna Reddy and MLC Murugudu Hanumantha Rao.
Jagan Mohan Reddy welcomed Mr. Chiranjeevi by draping the party shawl around him. MLA Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, MLC Murugudu Hanumantha Rao and other local leaders were present.
Mr. Chiranjeevi contested for TDP from Mangalagiri in the 2014 elections and lost by just seven votes to Alla Ramakrishna Reddy.
