Former Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy targeted Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy for the first time on Thursday by accusing him of failing to release funds for schemes such as pavala vaddi loans and fee reimbursement, but merely claiming credit for himself by stating that he was the one to have suggested such good schemes to former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.

Jagan revealed that the political party being floated by him would be named as YSR Party. He told a meeting with Muslim minorities in Proddatur town that his party would ensure revival of YSR's golden rule in the State within the next two years.

He charged the Congress leaders with resorting to mudslinging on YSR and alleged an unholy nexus between the Congress and Telugu Desam to malign YSR's image.

He accused the State government of grossly failing to implement schemes such as pavala vaddi loans and fee reimbursement and diluting them.
