Jagan on warpath with High Command?

With the Congress High   Command maintaining a stoic silence on the issue of  granting permission to Odarpu yatra  of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, the Congress MP,  and party leaders  in the state are keeping their fingers crossed.

Preparations are in full swing in Srikakulam for Jagan’s Odarpu Yatra scheduled for July 8. However,  Jagan seems to be heading for a confrontation with the High Command. The   Jagan camp leaders are confident that  the High Command will not take offence to the Odarpu yatra.

Further, they justify the Odarpu yatra as Jagan  met  PCC chief DSrinivas and Chief Minister K Rosaiah before the launch and had their blessings.

Every time when he goes on Odarpu yatra he  need not take permission. This is Jagan’s  personal  yatra and the party is in no way  concerned with this programme.

Meanwhile, Verrappa Moily, the AICC  general secretary who is  incharge of Andhra Pradesh, said the final decision on  Odarpu yatra rests with the High command.

Chief Minister K Rosaiah who was in Delhi on Friday was asked to broach the subject of  Odarpu yatra with Sonia Gandhi during his  meeting with the AICC  president. However, the CM made it clear that unless Sonia brings up the subject of Odarpu Yatra herself, he will not rake up the issue.

Rosaiah however, assured the pro-Jagan  Cong leaders the government would provide security to Jagan if he goes on Odarpu yatra.
