YSR Congress Party honorary president Vijayamma will
make her maiden foray into Telangana by campaigning in Parkal Assembly
constituency for her party candidate Konda Surekha on Friday.
This
will be the first time, a senior YSR Congress leader will be entering
north Telangana after party president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy was forced
to abort his ‘Odarpu yatra' in Mahabubabad two years ago by Telangana
activists. The party leaders had earlier planned an elaborate campaign
but decided to curtail it fearing trouble.
The
Telangana Rashtra Samiti and other organisations had initially announced
their resolve to obstruct the tour but decided against doing so. The
political JAC chairman M. Kodandaram said they would not disrupt the YSR
Congress leader's tour programme. “We want her to spell out her party
stand on Telangana statehood issue,” he told
The Hindu
.
According to YSRCP sources, Ms. Vijayamma will
board a train on Friday in Gudur and to reach Warangal. Campaign
managers of Ms. Vijayamma are reluctant to disclose her tour programme
but said she would participate in a road show in Geesukonda mandal
headquarters at 10.30 a.m. and address a meeting in Parkal town. She
will then take a train to Nellore to continue her campaign in Nellore
Lok Sabha constituency.
