Contrary to the calculations of political pundits, most of the Kamma-dominant villages in Mailavaram constituency in Krishna district virtually waited for several hours for a glimpse of YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Sunday.
The people, particularly from Chowdary community, rallied around Jagan and virtually did not allow him to go out of their villages till he visited their colonies.
Even Jagan camp was surprised by the massive turnout from villages considered to be the stronghold of TDP district chief Devineni Umamaheswara Rao.
Turnout at Kavulur, Chevutur and Paiduripadu villages was a surprise as people from the Kamma community ran out into the streets and stopped his convoy.
“The crowd turnout at Kavulur, Chevutur and Paiduripadu villages had left us speechless,” admitted a YSR Congress leader.
