Facing ED probe, Jagan backs CJP leaders ahead of urban polls

YSR Congress Party president Jagan Mohan Reddy has voiced support for Chief Justice Party leaders as his party faces mounting pressure from central investigating agencies. The backing comes as the CBI and ED pursue cases against Jagan amid electoral activity in Andhra Pradesh.

With elections looming for 100 urban local bodies in the state, Jagan's public alignment with CJP leaders signals a rare moment of political coordination. Political analysts suggest the move may provide the YSRCP fresh leverage in navigating both legal challenges and electoral contests ahead.

The timing underscores how Jagan is attempting to shore up alliances and political momentum even as central agencies maintain scrutiny over his party and leadership.
