YS Jagan Visits Tirumala

The holy temple town of Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh was visited by YSR Congress Party President, Mr. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday morning.

Before embarking on a 3,000 km long “Praja Sankalpa Yatra”, Jagan had travelled to Tirupati, to seek blessings. The main aim of the padayatra would be to cover 13 districts and in a duration of six months. The padayatra is scheduled to take off from November 6.

The ‘failures of the Chandrababu Naidu government’ and stress on the need for Special Category Status (SCS) for Andhra would be highlighted by the party, which ultimately aims at unseating the ruling TDP government.

Meanwhile, the TDP lawmakers have referred the padayatra as a “Yatra for power” as Jagan has all set his eyes on the Chief Minister’s seat. But, the YSRCP refuted the claims and said that it is a Yatra to highlight people’s problems.

The YSRCP has also decided to boycott the winter session of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, which will start in the second week on November. Under Schedule 10 of the Constitution – also known as the anti-defection law, the legislators be disqualified, demanded the YSRCP.

The Assembly Speaker and the President of India have been approached by the party, demanding that they take cognizance of the situation. A letter to the President of India was written by Jaganmohan Reddy, on October 26, seeking his intervention into the matter of ‘encouraged defections from his party to the ruling TDP’.

Chandrababu Naidu was accused by Jagan for his ‘unethical and unconstitutional practice of masterminding defections’, in the letter.
