Hyderabad, Nov. 20: The Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, on Friday hit the campaign trail for the GHMC polls and addressed over 30 well-attended meetings in Rangareddy and Hyderabad districts.
Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy emulated most gestures of his late father, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, during his campaign speeches, evoking enthusiastic response from the audience.
When Congress workers asked him at several places when he was going to become Chief Minister, Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “With god’s grace I will become Chief Minister one day and your wish will be fulfilled.”
Like YSR, he waved his hands to the crowds, stretched out words while speaking, criticised the Telugu Desam chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu in choicest terms, and punctuated his speeches with anecdotes.
The young MP took the blessings of his mother, Ms Vijayalaxmi, before boarding the specially made Ratham from his Begumpet residence at around 9.30 am.
However, his meetings were delayed by more than three hours in all the venues because of lack of coordination and planning.
Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy garlanded status and offered rituals at temples and dargahs like his father used to do.
At one meeting, he also imitated the sound of a 108 ambulance which was passing by to regale the audience.
The only difference was that the Kadapa MP, Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy chose to start off from Maheswaram instead of Chevella, which was YSR’s favourite spot.
True to his father’s style, he also lashed out at the Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, and said he never kept his promises to implement total prohibition or subsidised rice scheme.
“He was never a match for my father in any respect,” said the Kadapa MP.
At another meeting, Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy said that during Mr Chandrababu Naidu’s regime, only “yellow shirts” (Telugu Desam workers) got all benefits but
YSR had addressed to all needs of all sections of society.
He appealed to the people to vote for Congress to give a befitting reply to Mr Chandrababu Naidu, who was thinking of staging a comeback to the post of the Chief Minister.
