Chief minister Y S jagan Mohan reddy has treated it as a prestige matter for just this reason. Instead of the party's representative for Visakhapatnam, Y v Subba reddy, he assigned the duty of organising the crowd to party general secretary and rajya sabha member v Vijay Sai Reddy. The state bjp is embarrassed by this and doesn't want YSRC to gain any support. The bjp leadership thinks jagan would use it as an opportunity to forward his plan for three capitals and emphasise in particular the necessity of making Visakhapatnam the executive capital.
The state bjp, which has been promoting Amaravati, would suffer politically if Modi made any commitments on Visakhapatnam. The bjp leadership is reportedly lobbying in New delhi to have the public meeting called off and to limit Modi's programmes to official events because of this.
Even the telugu desam party is reportedly of the opinion that Modi's public meeting would push the YSRC closer to the national leadership of the saffron party, which will impact its future ambitions to form an alliance with the bjp and Jana Sena combination. In order to have the public meeting called off, it is also utilising its own good will to negotiate with the delhi bjp leaders. However, no bjp leader has the authority to alter Modi's timetable. Let's wait and see what happens over the following few days.
