Jagan reaches Nizamabad amid protests
YSR Congress Party chief Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy reached Nizamabad district for his fast in support of farmers amid protests by pro-Telangana groups. He will sit on 48-hour fast in Armoor town, demanding that the government address problems of farmers.
Jagan faced protests all through his way to Nizamabad district.Police kept leaders and legislators of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) under house arrest in Nizamabad and Medak district and rounded up dozens of activists as a precautionary measure. Protesters at some places burnt tyres and tried to stop Jagan’s convoy.
On his way, Jagan garlanded statues of his father, late chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and also offered prayers at the historic Medak church.
The TRS and other pro-Telangana groups are opposing Jagan’s visit on the ground that he has not made his stand clear on the demand for a separate Telangana state.
Jagan’s party has already declared that it would not contest the upcoming by-elections to seven assembly seats in Telangana.

Jagan is the first enemy for telangana movement..I’m deeply disappointed by TRS, as why it is giving the opportunity to other parties like YSR and TDP to stand by T farmers..
Why can’t TRS strongly fight with the government on T farmers issues too! Even an amateur political party will not open these easy doors..
I’m becoming more suspicious on TRS’s moves towards achieving telangana state, its not good for you (TRS) or us (the telanganites)..wake up TRS its already late!
Jai Telangana..Jai Jai Telangana

TRS is trying whatever the best they can do within their limits with the political power they have right now, its matter of 2 years and you will see TRS sweeping Telangana and support all needy people.
Only one man can get telangana, and only one man can talk like Tiger, he is our KCR.
Pramod, I have a doubt that you are from Guntur
Jai Telangana!!!
