Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy inaugurated the plenary after paying tributes to his father Dr Rajasekhar Reddy at the venue and hoisting the party flag.

The party leaders also organised a massive blood donation camp at the plenary venue to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr Rajasekhar Reddy. The Indian Red Cross Society delegates are collecting the blood donation at the plenary venue.
