AP Assembly Election Results Live: Jagan: A battle for political survival after rout

From a brutal majority to a virtual battle for survival. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's electoral fortunes seem to have plummeted to unexpected depths within a span of five years, during which the outgoing Chief Minister launched a slew of populist measures. Having floated his YSRCP in 2011 following the death of his father and charismatic late Chief Minister of the undivided Andhra Pradesh, YS Rajasekhar Reddy, Reddy had to wait for another eight years before getting into the ruling saddle. Born on December 21, 1972 at Jammalamadugu in Kadapa district, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy first entered electoral politics in 2009 to contest for the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat from the Congress party. He emerged victorious under the leadership of his father Rajasekhar Reddy but that joy was short-lived.
