Ministers back CM : Is Jagan loosing the grip ?
“We are with the high command. We are with the chief minister. Sonia Gandhiji is our leader. There is no government failure in handling the ‘Odarpu yatra’ undertaken by Jagan. We are all of the same opinion,” information minister J Geeta Reddy, who is Congress floor leader in the Assembly, told reporters, flanked by 12 other ministers.
Dismissing the reported allegations of Jagan that chief minister Rosaiah was responsible for the attack on Congress leaders who came to receive him at the Mahabubabad railway station in Warangal district when he embarked on his yatra, she asserted that there is no government failure at all in the incident.
Health minister D Nagender said it is meaningless and irresponsible to say that Rosaiah was behind the stone-pelting incident.
Home minister P Sabita Reddy explained that the government deployed about 3,000 policemen under the supervision of senior officers as part of security measures for Jagan’s yatra.
The government has ordered an inquiry into the violent incident at Mahabubabad railway station and all facts of the matter would come out, she said.
The assertion by the ministers assume significance as some of them were seen as supporters of Jagan when there was a campaign last year to install him as chief minister.
