As many as 18 members, including 15 belonging to the ruling Congress, who are known loyalists of former Kadapa MP, Mr Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, created a stir in the State Assembly on Friday by joining the protest chorus of Opposition parties, demanding fee reimbursement and scholarships to students belonging to backward Classes & weaker sections.

The Jagan supporters seemed to have timed their plan to take on the Kiran Kumar government by making their presence felt in the House to coincide with the seven-day deeksha launched by the former Kadapa MP at the Indira Park on the fee reimbursement issue. The action of the Jagan supporters within the ruling Congress has caught the treasury benches unawares much to the glee of the Opposition members.
