=== Formation of YSR Congress Party ===
After the death of his father in a helicopter crash in 2009, Jagan undertook the Odarpu Yatra, a condolence tour across Andhra Pradesh, which led to a fallout with the Congress leadership.

On March 12, 2011, he launched the YSR Congress Party, named after his father.<ref>https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vijayawada/andhra-police-to-probe-helicopter-crew-over-windshield-damage-during-ex-cm-jagan-mohan-reddys-return/articleshow/120334976.cms</ref>

=== Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh ===
In the 2019 Legislative Assembly elections, YSRCP won 151 out of 175 seats, securing a landslide victory. Jagan Mohan Reddy was sworn in as Chief Minister on May 30, 2019. His tenure focused on large-scale welfare programs such as '''Navaratnalu''', which included initiatives in healthcare, education, and housing.

In the 2024 elections, YSRCP suffered a major defeat, leading Jagan to resign as Chief Minister on June 4, 2024.

== Legal Challenges ==

Jagan has faced multiple legal challenges, including a disproportionate assets case investigated by the CBI. He was arrested in 2012 and spent over a year in custody. In July 2024, he was also booked in an attempted murder case involving a TDP legislator.<ref>https://www.sakshipost.com/news/andhrapradesh/ys-jagan-hails-kandukuri-veeresalingam-telugu-community-s-pride-398196</ref>

== Controversies ==
