Chief Minister Rosaiah who stated ‘Odarpu Yatra’ by YS Jaganmohan Reddy is in defiance of the Congress High Command has redefined the meaning of ‘Odarpu’ by releasing an open letter to media in New Delhi few minutes ago by stating that, High Command hasn’t opposed the ‘Yatra.’
‘Congress has never opposed YS Jagan’s ‘Odarpu Yatra.’ Sonia Gandhi has made it clear to YS Jagan that ‘Odarpu Yatra’ shouldn’t be like a ‘Danda Yatra’ (Revolt or War) or ‘Jaitra Yatra’ (Victory Procession) with huge people gathering all over. This is an indirect hint by High Command to Jagan only to change the format of his ‘Odarpu.’ There is no loss for either Central Congress or State Congress with this ‘Yatra.’ YSR has even conducted this kind of ‘Odarpu’ in 2001-02 by uniting nearly 89 agricultural families (who lost their family heads in suicides) at one place and Sonia Gandhi distributed nearly Rs. 22,000 for each family. Same can be even done by YS Jagan in his ‘Odarpu’ but not the ones what YS Jagan is doing now,’ Rosaiah cleared the hurdles for ‘Odarpu’ atleast for media.
