A day after the former MP, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, announced his party's name as YSR Congress Party, he released the tricolour party flag at his father Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's samadhi in Idupulapaya on Saturday afternoon at a simple ceremony.
The flag has three vertical strips of blue, white and green, in that order from the left with YSR's portrait in the centre. Symbols of nine government schemes conceived during YSR's rule are placed in a circular fashion around the portrait.
Mr. Jagan and his mother Vijayalakshmi placed the flag at the samadhi and paid respects to YSR in the presence of Hindu, Muslim and Christian religious leaders, besides several party leaders.
Earlier, the entire family, including Ms. Vijayalakshmi, her daughter Sharmila and her husband arrived by helicopter and released the flag at a pre-fixed muhurtam.
The symbols depicting the schemes around YSR's portrait were for ‘pavala vaddi', Rajiv Arogyasri, fee reimbursement, Jalayagnam, Indiramma housing, old age pension, Rs. 2 a kg rice scheme, free power to farmers and house site pattas.
