Modi wave played a part in our defeat, says YSR Congress chief

He conceded that fielding his mother who is also YSR Congress honorary president Vijayamma, from the Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha seat was a wrong move.

“We saw the Narendra Modi wave and it had to be countered. We took a few decisions. A few misfired,” Reddy said.

Asked if it he is worried about Chandrababu Naidu at the helm in Seemandhra, he said, “It does not make any difference. Sonia Gandhi did whatever she could do. Now, it's going to start again with Chandrababu Naidu. I believe in God.

I believe in destiny.”

He said that he would continue his fight.
