‘Odarpu yatra’ may continue for two years: AP minister

Hyderabad, September 20: Congress MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s controversial ‘Odarpu yatra’ will continue for over a year to cover all the districts in Andhra Pradesh, Mines Minister B Srinivasa Reddy said here today.

“The yatra will continue for another one-and-half-year or two years to cover all the districts,” Srinivasa Reddy, a close relative of the YSR’s family, told reporters.

Jagan has so far covered four of the total 23 districts in the state.

Reddy, who has been accompanying Jagan in the ongoing yatra in Prakasam district, said he would like to see the Kadapa MP as Chief Minister but not now.

“I would like to see Jagan as Chief Minister but at a later stage. I want Rosaiah to continue as Chief Minister. I a have lot of respect for him. I am not like those ministers who want to become Chief Minister,” he said.
