Jagan visits naxal-hit villages BESTAVARIPET (PRAKASAM DIST): Despite denied permission from police to visit naxal affected area for security reasons, Kadapa MP YS Jaganmohan Reddy visited many interior villages including Ardhaveedu and Donakonda on peoples request. On the secomd day of his Odarpu Yatra he visited Cumbum, Bestavaripet, Ardhaveedu and Donakonda villages to day and called on the families who died after hearing his father YSRs death. People and Jagan supporters shouted with the slogans Our future CM is Jagan and he should return here as Chief Minister.
The Kadapa MP visited the Veligonda project and said that the long- pending project was realised by the efforts of his father. The project is providing water to 4.5 lakh acres of land, he said.
However, the MLAs who did not participate in the yatra owing to the direction of party high command expressed surprise over Jagan for not mentioning the name of Sonia Gandhi, though she announced ex gratia for the families of YSR sympathisers who died hearing his death.
