Crowds of supporters visit Jagan at fast venue
Supporters of Kadapa MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, whose fast over farmers’ issue entered second day on Wednesday, turned up in large numbers at his fast venue.
The YSR Congress leader demanded that the Government set up a price stabilisation fund for providing minimum support price for farmers and also ensure nine hours of free hour supply to them as promised by his father late Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy.
He also sought immediate relief for drought-hit farmers in the State. Meanwhile, raising slogans, Telangana supporters tried to express their protest at the fast venue but were removed by police.
Alleging that Jagan, who hails from Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, has an anti-Telangana attitude, TRS and Telangana political Joint Action Committee (JAC) had called for protests against the Kadapa MP’s 48-hour fast.
Asserting that it respected the sentiments of people of Telangana, Jagan’s YSR Congress Party has maintained it is for the Centre to take a decision on the Statehood issue.
The Telangana supporters squatted on the roads, threw stones, eggs and other objects on Jagan’s convoy while he was on his way to Armoor from Hyderabad on Tuesday.
