Congress go-ahead for yatra, says Jagan

In the eye of a storm ever since he defied the high command, the Congress MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, on Tuesday claimed the party has given the "go-ahead" to him to continue with his tour of Telangana region and that all issues have been sorted out.


After meeting the law minister, Mr Veerappa Moily, the 37-year-old MP from Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh, said he would continue with his yatra.

Mr Jagan Mohan said he had told Mr Moily that the yatra was apolitical and aimed at visiting the families of those who had died of shock or had allegedly committed suicide after hearing the news of his father Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy's death.

"He (Moily) has given a go-ahead. He told me to go and continue with whatever I am doing.
