Vijayamma visits Jaganmohan Reddy in prison

[1]

YSR Congress party honorary president Vijayamma called on her son and party president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy at Chanchalguda central prison where he is presently undergoing judicial custody.

Vijayamma was accompanied by her financial advisor Vijaya Sai Reddy. The visit follows as several leaders from both Congress and TDP were joining YSRC during the ongoing 'padyatra' by Sharmila, sister of jailed YSRC president and MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.

M. Rajesh Kumar, a party legislator from West Godavari district joined YSR Congress party on Monday.

Meanwhile Telugu Desam suspended its MLA Praveen Kumar Reddy from Tamballapalli in Chittoor district, from the party with immediate effect after he met Jaganmohan Reddy in Chanchalguda prison here on Tuesday. Another TDP MLA Amarnath Reddy from Palamaneru in Chittoor had also been critical of Chandrababu on the statehood issue. Though Mr. Amarnath did not reveal his plans yet, it is expected that he too may join the YSRC, which will be a serious setback to the TDP in its supremo’s home district as he is a politically strong man.
