Chief Minister K Rosaiah on Wednesday stated that the Odarpu Yatra launched by Kadapa MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is in defiance of the Congress High Command.
The Chief Minister told mediapersons that the party high command does not approve of the Odarpu Yatra, a fact which has been made clear by the Kadapa MP in his open letter.
Any one who takes part in the yatra does so at his or her personal risk, asserted Rosaiah indicating that the High command has not given any permission for this yatra.
''This is my advice to all the Ministers and MLAs who sought my suggestion whether to join the procession of YS Jagan in Srikakulam district,'' the Chief Minister said.
YS Jagan should not have made his personal meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi public through a press release, Rosaiah said.
There is no instability in the Congress party, the Chief Minister said and clarified that the local authorities would take care of the safety and security of the Kadapa MP in Srikakulam district.
