In May, Jagan set off for the second leg of his Odarpu Yatra. In troubled Telangana. The defiant Congress MP's yatra was stopped and he was taken into preventive custody.
Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's palatial house on a sprawling 22-acre plot on the outskirts of Bangalore includes a private helipad. In September, the Telugu Desam Party claimed that Jagan's mansion was proof of his corruption.
Despite a grand tour which defied his party's orders to stay put, Jagan Mohan Reddy has not been penalized by his party, the Congress. Instead, the Congress' approach to YSR Junior is passive-aggressive - those close to him are being censured.
The Congress may not approve of his Odarpu Yatra, but thousands of people poured on to the streets of Srikakulam to welcome Jagan Mohan Reddy as he arrived there on his father's birth anniversary.
Jagan Mohan Reddy has done what few Congressmen do - he has defied party president Sonia Gandhi by going ahead with a yatra that she had reservations about.
Many thought that with the political legacy of YSR, his Chief Minister's post would also pass on to his son, who was being groomed as his successor. That was not to be.
Days after the death of YSR, NDTV took a look at the political battleground in Andhra Pradesh, to see if his son would officially be named YSR's successor.
