Two YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Rajya Sabha MPs, Mopidevi Venkataramana and Beeda Mastan Rao, resigned on Thursday, a significant blow to the party's strength in the Upper House. Their resignations, accepted by Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, reduce YSRCP's Rajya Sabha count from 11 to 9. Both MPs are expected to join the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which will benefit from these defections and potentially reclaim seats in the Rajya Sabha. The resignations follow internal dissent and dissatisfaction with the YSRCP leadership, further exacerbated by the party's recent electoral losses. This development also strengthens the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), as TDP is a key ally. Speculation continues that more YSRCP MPs may resign and join either the TDP or BJP.
