The Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, has deliberately misled the state Congress about what exactly the party president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, conveyed to him regarding his Odarpu yatra. This is the impression that Mr Ahmed Patel, political secretary to Mrs Gandhi, gave to MLAs and Union ministers from the state.
Ms Purandareswari, in a press statement released on Thursday in Delhi, gave details of what Ms Gandhi had said during the June meeting. She said Ms Gandhi had favoured the yatra and reportedly suggested that the Congress should be involved in it. Ms Gandhi had told Mr Jagan that in each district headquarters, a statue of YSR should be installed, and the families of the victims should be consoled at the headquarters. She had suggested that the monetary help that is being extended to them by YSRs family be shared by the Congress.
