Ongole (AP), September 28: In an apparent dig at detractors like TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, Congress MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy today said attempts by certain quarters to “defame” his father and former chief minister late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy would not succeed.
“People have given a permanent place for Rajasekhara Reddy in their hearts. Out of zealously, some people are trying to defame him. Their attempts to defame a dead person shows the worst kind of politics. But they would not succeed.
They will be destroyed as people have so much love and affection for Rajasekhara Reddy,” he said while speaking at Chirala in Prakasam district during his ongoing ‘Odarpu (consolation) yatra’.
Congress MLA Konda Surekha, who quit as Minister in support of the demand to make Jagan as CM, alleged Naidu and other parties are afraid of the young leader’s popularity.
