Jagan the gainer in no-trust drama 

Despite being in jail, the YSR Cong chief has control over the political scene in AP. 

The No-Confidence Motion moved against Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy's government was defeated, as expected, but the real beneficiary in the whole show, political analysts say, is Kadapa MP, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, chief of the YSR Congress.

The loser, of course, was Telugu Desam chief N. Chandrababu Naidu.
At the same time, Kiran Kumar Reddy stands to gain -and lose, too - while the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, the prime mover of the No-Confidence Motion, sits on the fence, making neither gain nor loss.
In the entire episode, 15 MLAs from the Congress and the TD, who stood behind Jagan Mohan Reddy, voted in favour of the motion, doing the bidding of a man who still commands popularity despite being in jail.
Six months ago, when the YSRC moved a no-confidence motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy government, 17 MLAs - they were Congress rebel MLAs - were in support of Jagan Mohan Reddy.
This time, nine Congress MLAs and six TD MLAs supported the YSRC Party's stand. “It is not a small thing to support Jagan who has been in jail the last six months,“ a senior Congress leader said. Such acknowledgement speaks volumes for the indirect gains that accrued to Jagan Mohan and his party through the no-confidence motion route.
When the YSRC moved its motion, 30 Congress MLAs had supported Jagan Mohan Reddy, but at the time of voting, the Congress managed to woo back half that number. This time, too, the Congress leaders tried to retrieve a few of those supporting Jagan Mohan Reddy, but failed.
Surprisingly, Congress MLA Jogi Ramesh, who is a strong supporter of the Chief Minister, also joined the YSRC camp. YSRC MLA Gurnadha Reddy said some more Congress MLAs would be joining their party, the next few days possibly offering proof of his prediction.
YSRC leader and former minister M.V. Mysoora Reddy said that with Jagan Mohan Reddy having the support of nine Congress MLAs and six TD MLAs, was indication enough that the leaders of both these parties did not inspire faith. Jagan Mohan Reddy has no power now, but even then, several Congress and TD MLAs are coming out in support of him, as he has a large following in public.
Even though the Congress government survived the No-Confidence Move, the party loses nine MLAs, as these MLAs face disqualification, turning the government into a minority . Though the rebel MLAs 'suriving' with his government, the CM is a beneficiary only to an extent; he is a loser too, as he has lost nine MLAs to Jagan Mohan Reddy . Naidu has not only lost seven MLAs but he has also to face the allegations that the TD has colluded with the Congress.
Remaining neutral at the time of voting, Naidu gave a weapon to the YSRC and the TRS.
Both these parties are alleging that the TD colluded with the Congress long back -a fact that was proven on the floor of the Assembly on Friday night.
The TRS neither gains nor no loses. But, in a way, it emerged as a loser. TD rebel MLA K. Hariswar Reddy, who is supporting the TRS, had “absconded“ at the time of voting.
The BJP, CPI and the CPM had no prominent role in this episode. The MIM, which abstained from voting, gave the BJP a chance to criticise it.
