YS Jagan Mohan Reddy Celebrates Diwali Publicly in a First Time

In a notable departure from precedent, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party President, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, publicly celebrated the festival of Diwali at his residence in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Mr. Reddy, who recently returned from London, marked the auspicious occasion with his wife, YS Bharathi Reddy. The celebrations were documented and the visuals were officially shared on the social media handles of the YSR Congress Party, making it one of the first instances of such a public display of festival participation by the leader.

The visuals show the couple partaking in the Diwali festivities at their lavishly decorated home in Yalahanka. The residence was adorned with festive confetti and lights, fitting the spirit of the occasion. This public celebration is being viewed as a significant gesture, especially amidst past criticisms and discussions regarding the family's limited public participation in Hindu religious festivals and customs.
