It's known that Magunta was distanced by the YSRCP high command, which led to his dissatisfaction. YSRCP declared Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy as the candidate from the Ongole parliamentary seat, as announced by Jagan. This development has reportedly led to Magunta's extreme dissatisfaction with the party, prompting his resignation announcement. There is information suggesting that he might join TDP in the first week of March.
