Jagan readying up rival for Anam Ramanarayana Reddy in Venkatagiri?

Is YS Jagan preparing a Plan B to counter dissenting MLA and former Congress heavyweight Anam Ramnarayana Reddy in Nellore? Those in the know say yes. With Anam Ramnarayana Reddy repeatedly speaking against the party line and often expressing his dissatisfaction with YS Jagan's governance, YS Jagan is said to be looking at alternatives to Anam.
Anam currently is the MLA from Venkatagiri. Though he wanted to contest from Nellore rural or urban seats, Jagan asked him to contest from Venkatagiri. Then, he was not accommodated in the ministry. Since then, Anam has been singing a different tune. There are also rumours that he could leave the YSRCP ahead of the 2024 election. Hence, Jagan has readied up a Plan B.
If sources are to be believed, he is encouraging former CM Nedurumalli Janardhan Reddy's son Ramkumar Reddy to establish himself in Venkatagiri. He has already set up a camp office in Nellore town and has been meeting the people from Venkatagiri. He is also said to be highlighting the progress that Venkatagiri achieved during the tenure of Nedurumalli Janardhan Reddy. He is also trying to bring together all those elements inimical to Anam in Venkatagiri.
This is a clear signal that Ramkumar Reddy would be given the party ticket to contest from Venkatagiri if Anam tries to play truant. Sources say that Jagan has not taken kindly to Anam Ramanarayana Reddy's protest fast against the reorganisation of the districts. Though Jagan agreed partly to his proposals, he has not reconciled to this rebellion. He is said to be preparing ground to unseat him from Venkatagiri. Nedurumalli Ramkumar is being projected with this end in view, say sources.
