Hyderabad, July 07: Several Congress MLAs today met MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, who has announced his decision to resume his controversial ‘Odarpu yatra’ from tomorrow despite reservations expressed by the party high command.
D Sudheer Reddy, B Raji Reddy and K Srisailam Goud, all legislators from Hyderabad, and a few others from Jagan’s native Kadapa district, met him at his residence here.
Talking to reporters, they felt that Jagan’s yatra would not amount to defying the high command as it was his personal tour to console the families of those who died following the death of his father Y S R Reddy last year.
The high command did not ask Jagan to abandon his plan to resume the tour, which was stopped following violent protests by pro-Telangana activists in May, they claimed.
