Vijayamma meets Jagan in jail

Hours ahead of party’s political affairs committee decision on the shape its forthcoming mass contact programme, YSR Congress party honourary president Smt. Y.S. Vijayamma visited the Chanchalguda jail here on Thursday and discussed the issue with her son and party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Wednesday’s extended meeting of the party’s Central Governing Council, Executive Committee and MLAs at its central office received several suggestions from party leaders on taking up a Padayatra to highlight the people’s problems and find solutions to them.

While some leaders suggested Jagan’s Odarpu Yatra should be continued, some other suggested a sort of Ratha Yatra by party leaders.

Senior leaders of the party also suggested that Vijayamma should not take up this Yatra in view of her health and age but were forthright in suggesting that Jagan’s family members only should take up the mass contact programme.

The political affairs Committee will take a decision and finalize the mass contact programme schedule taking into consideration the views of Jagan.
