Congress MP wants party to stop using YSR's photo in publicity

                                                          
The YSR Congress had said that the "policy decision taken by Congress not to spare YSR on corruption charges will spell doom of the ruling party".
The debate as to whether to blame Rajasekhara Reddy or not has started within Congress of late, with some leaders suggesting that allegations against Jagan cannot be seen in isolation.
While leaders like Hanumantha Rao suggest that the party stops using Rajasekhara Reddy's name, others like Lok Sabha member A Sai Pratap say that they cannot criticise the late Chief Minister due to the strong association they had with him.
He regretted that no such meeting was held after the loss in the bypolls to Kadapa Lok Sabha and seven assembly segments recently.
The bypolls in 16 constituencies became necessary as the sitting Congress MLAs were disqualified by the Assembly Speaker for switching loyalty to Jagan and voting against the Congress government during a floor test last December.
The sitting member quit in support of the Kadapa MP in one constituency, while another seat became vacant, when actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi quit as MLA following his election to the Rajya Sabha.
 State Congress president Botsa Satyanarayana said yesterday that truth over the allegations of corruption against Rajasekhara Reddy regime would come out in the CBI probe.
Hanumantha Rao suggested that a meeting of senior leaders be convened to analyse the party's preparedness for the ensuing by-polls to 18 assembly seats.
