YSR Congress party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy is all set to vote for UPA candidate Pranab Mukherjee in the upcoming Presidential poll.

Party leaders say, Jagan had made up his mind to support Pranab Mukherjee over BJP candidate Sangma after much thought. The reason for doing so is that Jagan doesn't want to lose the secular tag attached to his party by extending support to BJP candidate, as this move will distance muslims from YSRC. Another reason behind YSR Congress stand is that Pranab Mukherjee might probably win the Presidential poll even without the support the support of Jagan. So, being on the winning side is a better idea rather than committing suicide by supporting losing candidate.

By taking Pranab's side in the Presidential poll, he made it clear that he would be supporting UPA or Third Front in 2014 polls, but never considers BJP. This came as a shock to NDA which expected to form an alliance with YSR Congress in future.
