Congress is over 100 years old and cannot be weakened by any individual: Jayanti Natarajan

When asked about the Jagan issue, Congress spokesperson Jayanti Natarajan today said that the “matter is under consideration of the party high command” and “whatever action is required, will be taken by the General Secretary in charge” of Andhra Pradesh. She said there was no timeframe for any action.

To a question, she said the Congress is over 100 years old and it is “not going to be weakened by any individual”.

Law Minister M Veerappa Moily, who is in-charge of Andhra Pradesh, sought to play down the issue, saying “everything is normal.”

Jagan is in the eye of a storm ever since he defied the party high command’s directive and went ahead with his tour of the sensitive Telangana region on Friday.

It is to be noted that Jaganmohan Reddy had already embarrassed the Congress High Command in December last year when he joined TDP members in Parliament in opposing the creation of Telangana state.
