Malladi Vishnu, who met YSRCP chief and Leader of the Opposition in AP, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at the Lotus Pond on Tuesday, said he would soon organise a massive public meeting in Vijayawada and join the YSRCP.

He said he had more than 40 year close association with YS Rajasekhara Reddy and that he was like his family member. He said he would feel very happy to work with YSR's son. He also said that his joining the YSRCP has nothing to do with the the sacking of Brahmin Welfare Corporation chief IYR Krishna Rao.
