Under fire from the party leadership for violating the Congress high command’s directive asking him not to go ahead with his Odarpu (consolation) yatra in Telangana region last week, Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Monday earned a reprieve from the party high command. While the party would not initiate any action against him, he would not get any audience with Congress president Sonia Gandhi until “he mends his ways”, said party sources.

According to sources,Jaganmohan, who landed in New Delhi on Sunday night, had sought an appointment with the Congress president and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. But they were unlikely to give him an appointment, it was reliably learnt. Sources said Jagan’s latest act of defiance of the high command’s instructions about not going to Telangana might “delay” his “rehabilitation”. The Congress leadership was earlier considering his induction as Minister of State in the Union Council of Ministers.

Jaganmohan got the reprieve after he told senior party leaders here that he was committed to the party and Sonia Gandhi, and would do nothing against her wishes. Sources said the Kadapa MP was asked to defer his Odarpu (consolation) yatra for the time being and he had agreed to it.
