We have seen how Parimal Natwani was recommended by both Amit Shah as well as Mukesh Ambani himself to be given a Rajya Sabha seat from Andhra Pradesh. And another seat went to Ayodhya Ramireddy who is a very close associate of Jagan Mohan Reddy from the beginning. Apart from these both, rest 2 seats went to candidates who represent the BC community.
Analysts say that this was a very strategic move by Jagan Mohan Reddy to give half seats to BCs and half seats to industrialists. In fact, it is said that Ayodhya Ramireddy is richer than Parimal Natwani also. Having wealthy candidates in the cabinet is always beneficial for the political parties. It not only give you a advantage over the business deals but also adds a power to the cabinet.
While listing out the assets in the affidavit, Ayodhya Ramireddy had listed that he has 2,377 crores. But even cases that are around his name are also higher than Natwani. With this level of rich people in the cabinet, it is easy for Jagan Mohan Reddy to have a potential to influence national politics very soon. People in the Andhra Pradesh feel that this strategy implemented by Jagan is one of the smartest.
