Vijayamma's campaign from tomorrow

                                                                             

Taking over from where her son Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy has left, YSR Congress honorary president Y.S. Vijayamma will plunge into electioneering from Wednesday.

Ms. Vijayamma continued her fast at her Lotus Pond residence on Monday even as the Central Governing Council of the party held an emergency meeting to take stock of the decision. Attended by M. V. Mysura Reddy, Y.V. Subba Reddy and 20 others, the meeting appealed to her to call off her fast. Ms. Vijayamma broke her fast after former MLA Konda Surekha offered here lime juice.

She will launch her campaign from Narsannapet constituency in Srikakulam district on May 30 and tour Payakaraopet, Ramachandrapuram, Polavaram, Narsapur and Prathipadu constituencies till June 3.

As she has already hinted, her speeches would highlight the “conspiracy” hatched by the Congress and the TDP to get Jaganmohan Reddy arrested and raise doubts over the death of her husband, YSR, in a helicopter crash in 2009. The party leaders plan to bring the arrest of Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy to the national level.

Earlier, in the day, Ms. Vijayamma, along with other family members, continued fast at her residence. Addressing the gathering at fasting camp, she said that in view of the demand from public who needed her leadership in the absence of Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy, she was calling off her fast. Roja and a number of leaders joined the protest.
