=== Family tree ===
{{Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy family}}

==Political career==
Reddy's father Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, popularly known as YSR, was a two-time [[List of chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh|chief minister of Andhra Pradesh]], serving from 2004 to 2009. He started his political career campaigning for [[Indian National Congress]] during the [[2004 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election|2004]] elections in Kadapa district.<ref name="oli">{{cite news | url=https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/india-news-ys-jaganmohan-reddy-andhras-giant-killer/330920 | title=YS Jaganmohan Reddy – Andhra's Giant Killer | date=24 May 2019 | first=M.

Following the death of his father in September 2009, he started efforts to take up the political legacy left by his father. The majority of the legislators favored him to be appointed as the Chief Minister, but this choice was not approved by party leaders [[Sonia Gandhi|Sonia]] and [[Rahul Gandhi]].

Six months after his father's death, he began an ''odarpu yatra'' (condolence tour), as promised earlier, to go and meet the families of those alleged to have either committed suicide or suffered ill health on the news of his father's death. The Congress party's central leadership directed him to call off his ''odarpu yatra'', an order which he defied leading to a fallout between the high command and himself. He went ahead with the ''yatra'', stating that it was a personal matter.<ref>{{cite news |last1=PTI |title=Defiant Jagan to go ahead with 'Odarpu' yatra |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/defiant-jagan-to-go-ahead-with-odarpu-yatra/articleshow/6393043.cms |access-date=27 March 2021 |work=The Times of India |date=22 August 2010 |language=en}}</ref>
