Rain fails to dither YS Jagan's padayatra

Visakhapatnam: Despite rains all over the route of Praja Sankalpa Yatra, Leader of Opposition Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly and YSR Congress Party YS Jagan Mohan Reddy continued with his padayatra in Visakhapatnam district today. Right from morning it has been raining continuously but that did not deter the YSRCP Chief who started his day 241 of his mass outreach programme, Praja Sankalpa Yatra from Dharmasagaram.

Even the people lining the Padayatra route, including women seemed unmindful of the rain and were seen waiting in long queues to have a glimpse of the people's leader. Many joined YS Jagan to walk alongside the YSRCP chief and expressed their support to him.

Later former MLA Kumba Ravi Babu met YS Jagan during the padayatra and narrated the problems faced by the tribal communities in the region. Students of nursing courses also met the leader of opposition and brought to his notice the problems they faced. The nursing students criticised the present TDP government and said that till date the government had not issued a single job notification. They expressed confidence that once YS Jagan becomes the Chief Minister they would get government jobs.

YS Jagan padayatra has entered Uratla in Payakaraopet constituency, and later in the evening the YSRCP Chief would be addressing a massive public meeting in Uratla.
