Speaking to reporters after joining the party Parthasarthi said that Jagan is the only leader who have the ability to rebuild the state.He also exaggerated  that YSRCP will come to power in both the states.

However, Congress sources said the crossing over of the ministers, over to YSRC would not have any impact on the Congress as he has not been very active for the past few years.
