Rajasekhara Reddy ("YSR"). Jaganmohan Reddy received his early education from Pulivendula and Hyderabad Public School .
Odarpu Yatra

Six months after his father's death, Reddy began a Odarpu Yatra (condolence tour) as promised earlier to go and meet the families of those who either allegedly committed suicide or died of shock after hearing the death of his father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy in a chopper crash in the thick Nallamalai forests in Kurnool district on September 2, 2009.The Congress party's central leadership directed Jagan to call off his odarpu yatra which he defied leading to a fallout between the high command and himself and further went ahead with the yatra stating that its personal and has got nothing to do with politics. His "Odarpu Yatra" is so far a big success and established Jagan as a big political leader in AP politics.[7] Reddy announced on 7 December 2010 that he would be continuing 'Odarpu Yatra' from 16 December 2010 in Kadapa district itself across all the assembly segments in the district. Later he would be moving on to the rest of the districts.
Criticism of Sonia Gandhi and subsequent resignation

On November 29, 2010, he resigned, after a fallout with the party high command.[8] Reddy announced on 7 December 2010 from Pulivendula that he would be starting a new party within 45 days. In February, 2011, he took over a party which had existed on paper only since the prior July, and was officially recognized on February 16 as president of the YSR Congress Party.[9]
First elections

Alhough the party contested Member of Legislative Council elections after its birth, the by-election for those seats which were left vacant after resignations of Y. S. Vijayamma and Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy were held on May 8th 2011, in which the son and mother duo contested on behalf of YSR Congress Party. These were the first major and direct elections for the party. Election Commission of India allotted a ceiling fan as common symbol for YSR Congress contestants in this election. In by-elections Y. S. Vijayamma won the Pulivendula Assembly seat by a record majority of 85,191 votes, highest in that constituency. Jaganmohan Reddy won with a record high majority of 545,043 votes.Jaganmohan Reddy, his mother Vijayamma shatter records.He bettered the 4.2 lakh vote margin registered by his father. Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy secured 6.9 lakh votes, more than 65 per cent of the total votes polled. He won with a majority of 5.45 lakh votes over his nearest rival, Health Minister D.L. Ravindra Reddy, who secured 1.46 lakh votes. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) nominee M.V. Mysoora Reddy came third with 1.29 lakh votes. Both his rivals and 39 independents forfeited their deposits.

In Pulivendula, Ms. Vijayamma secured a record 81,373 votes margin, surpassing her husband's 68,681 vote margin in the 2009 elections. She humbled her nearest Congress rival and brother-in-law Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, who got a little more than 28,000 votes.

TDP candidate M. Ravindranath Reddy, with 12,000 votes, remained a distant third. The nominees of these parties and 22 independents could not retain their deposits.

Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's emphatic victory is a huge setback not just to the Congress, but the TDP as well, as both had left no stone unturned to contain him. It is seen as a personal triumph for the 37-year-old leader, who made it “a battle between Congress president Sonia Gandhi and self-respect of the people of Kadapa.” He claimed the verdict was a pointer to the political changes in the offing.

Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy bettered the 4.2 lakh vote margin registered by his father from the same Kadapa seat in 1991.

His winning margin was next only to that of the former Prime Minister, P. V. Narasimha Rao, who won with a 5.8 lakh vote margin from Nandyal. [10]
In a major blow to the Congress, Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy and his mother Y S Vijaya Lakshmi won from Kadapa Parliamentary Constituency and Pulivendula Assembly constituency respectively with record-breaking margins.

The Congress and TDP candidates lost their deposits in Kadapa Lok Sabha as 70 per cent of the votes went to YSR Congress Party's Jagan Mohan and Vijaya Lakshmi. Jagan Mohan's victory spells trouble for the Congress as a rampaging Jagan Mohan is launching his "odarpu yatra" again wherein he will take the state government head-on, while many Congress MLAs may start siding with him openly.

Jagan Mohan won from Kadapa with a margin of 5,21,000 votes while his mother Y S Vijaya Lakshmi won with a majority of 85,191 votes in Pulivendula Assembly constituency. Jagan Mohan polled 6,55,496 votes and won by a margin of 5,21,000 votes which is a record in the state's history. Congress candidate D L Ravindra Reddy who is Minister for Health polled 134496 and TDP candidate M V Mysoora Reddy, senior Rajya Sabha MP, polled 128727 votes. Both lost their deposits. It spells trouble for the Congress and Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy as Jagan Mohan is likely to pose more challenges and question his authority.
