The YSR Congress president, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, alleged that the Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, was adopting a vindictive attitude against his family by shunning moral values. Addressing the gathering as part of his ongoing Odarpu Yatra in Kosigi on Saturday, Mr Jagan alleged that the Congress in collusion with the Telugu Desam was harassing his family and added that Mrs Sonia Gandhi was behind this. But people were observing the act, he added.
Mr Jagan said that people eked out livelihood with great confidence during former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy’s regime, but they were in despair after his death. He hailed YSR for introduction of several welfare schemes, such as fee reimbursement to students and minimum supportive price for farmers. Mr Jagan alleged that Congress government was gradually discarding YSR welfare schemes. He said that YSR was in the hearts of people, as was evident from the great public turnout for his tour.
Taking part in Odarpu Yatra, Mantralayam TD dissident legislator Y. Balanagi Reddy alleged that the TD president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, was panicking because of YSR Congress. He alleged that the Congress and the TD were shocked by the support ex-tended by people for the YSRC. Later Mr Jagan visited Raghavendra Swamy Mutt in Mantralayam, and offered prayers. He also unveiled several YSR statues during his tour.
