Hyderabad, August 22: Notwithstanding the Congress high command’s warning of disciplinary action, a defiant Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has decided to go ahead with his controversial ‘Odarpu’ yatra in Andhra Pradesh’s Prakasam district on September 3.
Jagan will embark on the third phase of his yatra, which has invited the wrath of the high command and Chief Minister K Rosaiah, on September 3, a day after the first death anniversary of his father and former Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
“He is going to go ahead with the yatra on September 3 as decided,” Ambatti Rambabu, suspended General Secretary of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee and Jagan’s close aide, told PTI here.
Rambabu, who was suspended for his statements against Rosaiah, claimed that Jagan has not received any communication from the High Command asking him to call off the yatra.
