Even as the courts have set aside the YSR Congress Party
(YSRCP) president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy's argument that his arrest was
illegal, the party activists on Saturday staged a day-long relay fast in
front of Sub-Collector's office over the latter's arrest.
The
protestors raised slogans against the Central Bureau of Investigation
(CBI) which was probing into the disproportionate assets case against
Mr. Jagan. The activists led by the YSRCP Vijayawada election in-charge
P. Gowtham Reddy staged a sit-in before the Sub-Collector's office.
Alleging that Jagan's arrest was a conspiracy planned by the Congress
and Telugu Desam Party, the party workers blamed the CBI for acting at
the behest of the Government.
Disunity among the
YSRCP came to the fore with only Mr. Gowtham Reddy participating in the
relay fast, which was organised in a dramatic style six days after the
arrest of Mr. Jagan.
Former MLAs Jaleel Khan and
Vangaveeta Radha and former mayor Tadi Shakuntala, who are also in the
YSRCP, were not seen in the relay fast camp.
