YS Jagan was asked the court to travel to Jerusalem on a devotional purpose and the court granted him permission. 

Jagan passport was previously seized by the court, for few of the financial allegations raised upon him. He is not allowed to travel outside India. But now for a devotional purpose, he asked for court's  permission to go to Jerusalem in July and the court granted him to go, keeping in mind the purpose.

It was in the news that Jagan faced few financial allegations and he was sentenced to jail for a good number of months. But after releasing, Jagan explained to the media that those were just the cheap tricks played by the opposition parties. The so called opposition parties too opposed Jagan saying that all the allegations laid on him were absolutely true and no can escape from the law.

But Jagan, even staying at jail, brought his mother YS Vijayamma and sister Sharmila into the politics and all the political activities including attending public meetings and speaking to the public too were done by the both ladies. Even now the influence of Sharmila is seen every now and then, through the few political speeches.        

After the death of YS Rajashekar Reddy, the former Chief Minister of the united Andhra Pradesh,  Jagan was put into many troubles and he who was expected to be the next CM after his father's demise could not do it, as Congress government felt that he is too young to hold such a responsible position.

But after that decision, Jagan came out of the Congress party and established a seperate regional party in the name of his father calling it as YSRCP party and now that party turned out to be the main opposition party of TDP.
