Ongole, Sept. 1: The minister for mines and geology, Mr Balineni Srinivas Reddy, confirmed that Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, will go ahead with the Odarpu yatra as per schedule in Prakasam district.
Two Odarpu programmes are going to hit the district. The AICC's Odarpu schedule is yet to be announced hence Congress leaders and activists are going to join Jagan’s Odarpu.
Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, Mr Srinivas Reddy said that the AICC’s decision to organise Odarpu was a fitting answer to some leaders who had tried to mislead the high command about the consequences after YSR’s death. He thanked Mrs Sonia Gandhi for the historical move.
The minister said that Mr Jagan would start the yatra from Giddalur on September 3 at 9.30 am.
He said that after participating in the yatra, he would leave for Hyderabad to attend a cabinet meeting. He revealed his plans to take part in the yatra for at least 10 to days.
Mentioning allegations of CPI state secretary, Mr K. Narayana, about his family holding granite lands in Chimakurti, he denied this and challenged that he would retire from politics if Mr Narayana proved it.
The minister said that they were not pressuring MLAs, MPs and other elected representatives to participate in Jagan’s yatra.
