YSR detractors to bite the dust: Jagan
M. Ilyas
Ongole, Sept. 8: Stepping up his attack on Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, and others, Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, said that those making false allegations against his father YSR even after his death, will be wiped out by the wrath of people.
On the sixth day of his Odarpu Yatra at Nandipalem village in Konakanamitla mandal in Prakasam on Wednesday, Mr Jagan said that they were jealous of people’s love and affection for us.
He (Mr Chandrababu) is in a delusion that he is still the chief minister and is trying to defame YSR. Mr Jagan was apparently referring to Mr Chandrababu’s allegations in Srikakulam district on Tuesday that YSR was corrupt.
He also came down heavily on a vernacular daily for its biased approach towards their family.
Referring to YSR’s six year regime, Mr Jagan said that his father was a role model for other chief ministers in the country.
“YSR always thought about people’s welfare. His tenure as chief minister was a golden period. Everyone in the state benefitted in some way or other by his schemes,” Mr Jagan said.
Alleging that some leaders were misleading the high command, the minister for mines, Mr Balineni Srinivas Reddy, said that Mr Jagan did not start the Odarpu to get the CM’s post but to console families whose kin died, either due to shock or committed suicide after YSR’s death.
Villagers of Chowtapalem obstructed Cumbam former legislator, Mr Udumula Srinivas Reddy, from sharing the dias with Mr Jagan, alleging that he had not developed their village.
Darsi MLA, Dr Buchepalli Sivaprasad Reddy, and other leaders participated in the Odarpu. Mr Jagan consoled the family of Mora Tirupati Reddy at Chinarikatla.
Meanwhile, the Odarpu is two days late as Mr Jagan is arriving six to seven hours late everywhere.
Heavy crowds attended the Odarpu in all villages and people forcibly took Mr Jagan to their villages. Women and children were seen on a largescale in the Odarpu and youngsters shouted slogans “Future CM Jagan,” in every meet; Mr Jagan evidently enjoyed this as he did not try to stop them.

TD to counter YSR statue spree
TD to counter YSR statue spree
M.Ilyas
Aug. 26: Adding to the widespread controversy of the proposed Odarpu Yatra in Prakasam district, the Telugu Desam leaders are planning to agitate against the largescale installation spree of YSR statues without proper permissions in the district.
The TD district president, Mr Damacherla Janardhan, said that permissions were mandatory from the R&B, police, fire, irrigation, revenue, panchayats and other departments to install statues.
Alleging violation of norms in this regard, he said that their party was going to bring the issue to the notice of higher officials and if the authorities failed to curb the improper installation of statues, they would set up NTR statues besides YSR statues.
Meanwhile, an Odarpu Yatra coordination committee was formed on Thursday with Congress leaders, Messrs Battula Brahmananda Reddy, Nutalapati Tirumala Rao, Katta Sivaiah, Nukasani Balaji, P. Pulla Reddy, K.V. Prasad, K.V. Ramana Reddy, Y. Venkateswar Rao and Ongole municipal chairman, Dr Bapatla Hanumantha Rao.
The committee said that Mr Jagan would tour 1,395 km of 53 mandals of Prakasam district, unveil 450 YSR statues and console 40 families in the district. Meanwhile, nephew of YSR and Congress leader, Mr Y.V. Subba Reddy, released the Odarpu Yatra poster at Chirala

Focus on second-rung leaders

Ongole, Aug. 28: The route map was finalised for Odarpu Yatra in Prakasam district on Saturday, amidst lack of cooperation from majority of Congress MLAs.
Starting from Giddalur on September 3, the Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, will travel about 1,395 kms, covering 295 villages, to console 40 families who lost their kin due to the death of YSR.
It is learnt that the District Congress Committee president and MLC, Mr Pothula Rama Rao, Kondepi MLA, Mr G.V. Seshu, and Parchur legislator, Dr Daggubati Venkateswar Rao, had met the Pradesh Congress Committee chief, Mr D. Srinivas, on August 27 at Hyderabad, and asserted their obedience to the high command.
Thus far, other than minister for mines and geology, Mr Balineni Srinivas Reddy, and Darsi legislator, Dr Buchepalli Sivaprasad Reddy, no MLA is ready to participate in yatra.
Meanwhile, a coordination committee comprising nine members headed by Mr Battula Brahmananda Reddy, touring villages to garner support of Congress activists and second rung leaders.
Using it as an opportunity to make a mark in the ensuing local body elections, the second rung leaders are out to support the yatra.
The movement of these secondary cadre leaders into Jagan’s camp is irking the legislators, as they have to face competition from their followers in the next local body elections, if Jagan forms a separate party after being expelled from the Congress.

jagan fumes at bid to isolate him in party
Ongole, Sept. 5: Raising the pitch of his speeches on the third day of his Odarpu Yatra on Sunday, Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, alleged that some forces were trying to isolate him by restraining leaders from attending his Yatra.
After unveiling a YSR statue at Veligandla, he said: “My father did not leave me alone. He left me with crores of people.”
Amidst speculations of disciplinary action against ministers, Mr Balineni Srinivas Reddy and Mr Pilli Subhashchandra Bose, who are supporting Mr Jagan, the rasp in his voice was evident.
It is now a question of time how long he remains with the party, according to some political analysts.
Some senior leaders in the party feel that the high command may take action against the two ministers first before launching on to Jagan.
They also predicted that Jagan may, at any time, explode as he is gradually losing patience on this issue.
Responding to a Gudipatipalli villager Gona Devamma’s complaint about poor amenities, Mr Jagan said that he had appealed MLAs and MPs with folded hands to participate in the yatra to know the plight of people.
Advocating that state leadership be given to Mr Jagan to ensure the implementation of all welfare schemes initiated by the late YSR, the minister for mines, Mr Balineni Srinivas Reddy, said that he was not after his ministerial post and would not worry if he loses it.
He added that this post was due to his mentor, YSR. The minister said that it was because of YSR that the Congress retained power in the state.
Rajolu MLA, Mr Rapaka Varaprasad Rao, said that some ministers, MLAs and MPs were ready to join the Odarpu but fear of high command was restraining them. He admitted to getting a message to shun the Odarpu but joined it due to his affection of YSR and Jagan.
Kakinada MLA, Mr Dwarampudi Chandrasekhar Reddy met Mr Jagan and joined the yatra.
Mr Jagan inaugurated a YSR Smriti Vanam (memorial park) at Kanigiri besides unveiling a statue. He consoled families of R. Venkateswarlu at Gannavaram in Veligandla mandal and V. Chinnaiah at Vemulapadu of Hanumantunipadu mandal
