Jagan shatters Cong hopes!

The Congress party in Andhra Pradesh, which was hoping to restore its identity in the state by winning a few seats through joining hands with YSR Congress party in the next elections, has received a big jolt with YSRC president and leader of opposition Y S Jaganmohan Reddy offering an olive branch to Bharatiya Janata Party.

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president N Raghuveera Reddy could not hide his displeasure over Jagan meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi a few days ago and extending support to the BJP in the Presidential elections.

What hurt him more was the statement of Jagan that the BJP was conquering the entire country and that his party had no differences with the BJP except on a couple of issues.

“It is unfortunate that Jagan has dropped his gun on fighting against the centre on the special category status issue and extended support to the BJP candidate in Presidential elections. What is the need for Jagan to go to Delhi at this stage, when farmers are suffering in the state?” Raghuveera asked.

He reminded that his father Y S Rajasekhar Reddy had fought against the BJP all through his life.“With what face can Jagan now raise the demand for special category status? He should have put the condition that his party would support the BJP candidate in Presidential polls only if special category status is given to AP,” he demanded.
