VISAKHAPATNAM: The Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president, K. Kesava Rao, will flag off the `Prajahita' yatra from the office of the city Congress committee at Yelammathota on Thursday. Announcing this to reporters, the City Congress Committee president, Dronamraju Srinivasa Rao, said on Wednesday that the rally would culminate at the Mahatma Gandhi statue opposite the Municipal Corporation building. The city Mahila Congress president, P. Pushpanjali, the city Youth Congress president, G.V. Ravi Raju, and the Seva Dal president, Krishnam Raju, were present at the press conference. The first phase of the rally will be conducted for eight days till June 30. The dates for the second phase will be announced later. Mr. Srinivasa Rao said the main aim was to inform the public about the welfare schemes being implemented by the Congress Governments at the Centre and in the State. He said the Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, was trying to revive `Indiramma rajyam' by providing basic amenities to the people below the poverty line. The City Congress Committee claimed credit for importance being attached to Visakhapatnam for luring investments in the information technology sector. Visakhapatnam was being projected as an ideal destination for investors in the State. after Hyderabad due to the proactive policies of Dr. Reddy, he pointed out. The Congress leader failed to give convincing replies on the inordinate delay in completing the Godavari water diversion project. "We are trying to solve the problem and our MLAs are competent to reply," was his repeated answer when he was asked to comment on the resentment over the failure to bring the Godavari water this summer. On the demolitions carried out by the Municipal Corporation in the Siva Sankar Rajakula Colony and the alleged involvement of Visakha-II MLA behind the forcible eviction of several families from the area, he said he would talk to the MLA to find out the truth. Mr. Srinivasa Rao said the Congress would also take out the yatra in the Siva Sankar Colony and appealed to the Opposition parties not to politicise the issue.
