VHR makes light of Jagan's Odarpu Yatra

Congress MP V Hanumanth Rao came down heavily on the resignations of 29 MLAs, who owed their allegiance to YS Jaganmohan Reddy, in protest against the CBI raids on the latter's offices and residences along with the Emaar properties.

Talking to reporters, Hanumanth Rao said that people's have become so aware that they no more listen to excuses by MLAs and question them regarding the developmental programmes taken up in their constituencies."What would these MLAs tell the people when they visit the constituencies to seek votes. Can they tell the voters that they resigned because the CBI was probing corruption chrages against their leader," VHR asked.

The Rajya Sabha MP made light of Jagan's Odarpu Yatra saying that there was a limit for claiming the sympathy of the people for his father who passed away about two years back. He said even Rahul Gandhi silently went to one northern state to meet a family who lost their bread earners. Rahul did not opt for any publicity where as Jagan was trying to gain mileage out of the Odarpu Yatra, he said.

Earlier, Hanumanth Rao met the Chief Minister N Kirankumar Reddy and expressed the need to suitably reward the party activists, who acted as a bridge between the government and the people. He asked the Chief Minister to fill up the vacancies of chairmen to which the former has agreed.
