Breaking his silence, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, son of the late Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, on Friday gave enough hints that he was ready to take up the political mantle to fulfil his father’s dreams.
“I find YSR in everyone’s smile,” Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy said in an emotional speech in a meeting at Nallakaluva, about 30 km from Atmakur in Kurnool district, after visiting the site where his father perished in a chopper crash.
“I see him in everyone. I will be part of your family and let us together fulfil the dreams of YSR.” Contrary to speculation that he would offer a silent floral tribute at the crash site at Pavuralagutta, Mr Jagan poured his heart out and promised to visit the kin of all the 660 people who died of shock or committed suicide following the death of YSR.
Mr Reddy flew down to Pavuralagutta on Friday morning and later participated in an all-faith prayer meeting at Nallakaluva. His supporters raised slogans in his favour and a Muslim cleric prayed to God to make him the Chief Minister. “YSR is no more, but he left behind his heart and soul,” he said amid applause. “After his death, lakhs of people have consoled me and my family members, saying we are with you.”
Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy’s statements thrilled his supporters but might add to the unrest in the Rosaiah government which is trying to settle down and focus on governance. His promise to visit houses of kin of the 660 dead people will also put pressure on the government to announce ex gratia for them.
