== Background ==
After the sudden death of the then-incumbent Chief Minister [[Y. S. Rajashekhara Reddy]] (YSR) in a helicopter crash in September 2009,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/national?cp-documentid=3202913|title=national - News - msn|website=www.msn.com}}</ref> his son Jagan Mohan Reddy, the incumbent [[Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha|MP]] from [[Kadapa (Lok Sabha constituency)|Kadapa]], started an ''Odarpu Yatra'' (condolence tour) across Andhra Pradesh, to console the families of those who had committed suicide or died of shock after the death of his father. This tour was not supported by the Congress leadership.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/defiant-jagan-to-go-ahead-with-odarpu-yatra/articleshow/6393043.cms | work=The Times Of India | title=Defiant Jagan to go ahead with 'Odarpu' yatra - The Times of India| url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101022224736/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Defiant-Jagan-to-go-ahead-with-Odarpu-yatra/articleshow/6393043.cms | archive-date=22 October 2010 }}</ref> Congress President Defying the Congress High Command's order to call off the tour, Jagan went ahead with the first leg of the "Odarpu Yatra" in the [[West Godavari district|West Godavari]] and [[Khammam district|Khammam]] districts from in April 2010.<ref>http://zeenews.india.com/election09/story.aspx?aid=640242</ref>

Meanwhile, ''[[Sakshi TV]]'' news channel and [[Sakshi (newspaper)|''Sakshi'']] newspaper, had been continuously criticizing the new Chief Minister [[Konijeti Rosaiah]] and the Congress leadership at [[New Delhi]]. In a special programme on ''Sakshi TV'' to mark the 125th anniversary celebrations of the Congress party, a voice-over made remarks on Sonia Gandhi and the [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Manmohan Singh]] on the "current state of affairs" in the State, which invited anger and protests from the Congress loyalists and increased the gap and friction between Jagan and the Congress loyalists.<ref>[http://www.indianexpress.com/news/with-tv-attack-on-sonia-&-pm-jagan-signals/713930/ With TV attack on Sonia & PM, Jagan signals it’s time to go]. Indian Express (2010-11-21). Retrieved on 2011-10-20.</ref> The channel later deleted those remarks in a re-telecast.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

== Politics ==
After accusing the Congress of ill-treating him and creating rifts in his family by luring his uncle [[YS Vivekananda Reddy]] (younger brother of YSR) with a state ministerial berth in the aftermath of the death of his father, Jagan and his mother [[Y. S. Vijayamma]] resigned from the Kadapa [[Lok Sabha]] and [[Pulivendula]] [[Government of Andhra Pradesh|Assembly]] constituencies respectively and also as members of the Congress in November 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/jagan-quits-congress-to-float-ysr-congress_671102.html|title=Jagan quits Congress, to float 'YSR Congress'|date=30 November 2010|website=Zee News|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306043329/https://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/jagan-quits-congress-to-float-ysr-congress_671102.html|archive-date=6 March 2019}}</ref><ref name="ysrcp" /><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110226070058/http://www.hindu.com/2011/02/22/stories/2011022262250400.htm Andhra Pradesh / Hyderabad News : Jagan is national president of YSR Congress Party].

==Electoral Performance==
In March 2012, YSR Congress won the [[Kovur, Nellore|Kovur]] assembly seat in [[Nellore]] district in a by-election.

On 15 June 2012, YSR Congress [[2012 Andhra Pradesh by-election|won]] the [[Nellore (Lok Sabha constituency)|Nellore Lok Sabha seat]] and 15 of 18 assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh. YSRCP leaders [[Pilli Subhash Chandra Bose|P.

It lost the [[2014 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election]]. One-third of the MLAs who won contesting for the YSR Congress in the 2014 elections joined the [[Telugu Desam Party]] by 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|last=|first=|date=|title=Anti-defection Law Ignored as MLAs Jump Ship to TDP, TRS in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana|work=News18|url=https://www.news18.com/news/politics/anti-defection-law-ignored-as-mlas-defect-to-tdp-trs-in-andhra-pradesh-and-telangana-1591319.html|url-status=live|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210119152743/https://www.news18.com/news/politics/anti-defection-law-ignored-as-mlas-defect-to-tdp-trs-in-andhra-pradesh-and-telangana-1591319.html|archive-date=19 January 2021}}</ref>

It went for 2019 general elections by appointing [[Prashant Kishor]], a renowned political strategist in Indian elections<ref>{{Citation|last=NTV Telugu|title=YS Jagan Introduces Political Strategist Prashant Kishor @ YSRCP Plenary Meeting 2017 {{!}}{{!}} NTV|date=2017-07-09|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ak4HBGmilo|access-date=2018-11-25}}</ref> and emerged as the 5th largest political party in India.
