YSR Congress Party is a regionalpolitical party in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It was founded by Siva Kumar in 2009 and taken over byY. S. Jaganmohan Reddy, the son of former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy(popularly known as YSR) in 2011.Both YSR and Jaganmohan Reddy (called Jagan by his followers) had been members of the Indian National Congress.Jagan was also elected as the national president of the party. rr After the death of the then-incumbent Chief Minister Y. S. Rajashekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash in September 2009,his son Jaganmohan Reddy, the incumbent MP from Kadapa, started an Odarpu Yatra(condolence tour) across Andhra Pradesh, supposedly to console the families of those who had committed suicide or died of shock after the death of his father. This was however not supported by the Congress leadership.Congress President Sonia Gandhi claimed the rising volatile situation in the state regarding the Telangana issue as the main reason for opposing the Odarpu Yatra. Defying the Congress High Commands order to call off the tour, Jagan went ahead with the first leg of the Odarpu Yatra in the West Godavari and Khammamdistricts from in April 2010.
