On yatra, Jagan
attracts huge crowds
Hyderabad, July 8 Thousands lined up both sides of the streets and stood on rooftops to welcome Jagan at the start of his three-day campaign in Itchapuram town. The Kadapa MP unveiled a statue of his late father and former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy on his birth anniversary and paid floral tributes to him at the site where YSR ended his 68-day 'padyatra' in 2003. The young leader briefly addressed the massive crowds before setting out to console families of those who died of shock following YSR's death. Addressing people in a style which reminded of his father, Jagan was visibly impressed by the huge turnout. "I am not alone. My father has left behind such a huge family," he said. — IANS
