Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said on Saturday that the continuous desertions of leaders from a party reflects its current situation, hinting at the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP following V Vijayasai Reddy resigning from the Rajya Sabha.
Without invoking the opposition party's name or Reddy, the CM answered a reporter's question about why the opposition party is regularly facing desertions.
On Friday, Reddy said that he would not join any political party and would pursue a future in agriculture.

"There is no answer from us regarding why their party members are leaving. If there is faith, they will stay; otherwise, they will find their way and avenues. That reflects the situation of that party (YSRCP), I can say," said Naidu after addressing a press conference on his recent visit to Davos.
Further, Naidu said, "I don’t want to comment much on that, it is their internal affair."
Reddy on Saturday resigned as a member of the Rajya Sabha citing personal reasons. He met Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and submitted his resignation.
Reddy later told the media that despite having three and half years left in his six-year term in Rajya Sabha, he has submitted his resignation due to personal reasons.
"I have submitted my resignation to the vice president and chairman of the Rajya Sabha and he has accepted the same," Reddy told reporters after meeting Dhankhar.
