Nineteen Congress MLAs and two MPs joined Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, in his 'Jana Deeksha' against the recent petrol prices hike. Addressing the gathering, Jagan said neither the Centre nor the state government, was interested in the welfare of the common man. Jagan started his Jana Deeksha at 12 noon at RK Beach on Saturday.

Jagan, in his speech, criticized TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu for not opposing the petro products prices hike, during his tenure and gave a comparison of the prices during the TDP regime and YSR's tenure. He said Naidu hiked the RTC fare three times and power charges four times.
