‘Jagan no threat to government'

Party capable of managing its domestic affairs in Andhra Pradesh: Moily

Bangalore: In yet another veiled warning to rebel Congress MP Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy, Union Law Minister M. Veerappa Moily on Friday asserted that the party was “capable of managing its domestic affairs” in Andhra Pradesh.

“I don't want to comment on this. It is our (Congress) domestic affair and we are capable of managing it. There is no threat to the Congress government headed by Chief Minister K. Rosaiah and it is running well,” Mr. Moily, in-charge of Congress affairs in Andhra Pradesh, told reporters when asked what bearing Mr. Jagan's planned September 3 yatra would have on the party. Mr. Moily denied having set a September 2 deadline to announce the party decision on Mr. Jagan, if he went ahead with his yatra. “I have not set any date. It is the media which did it.”

However, to a query on what Congress would do to reign in Mr. Jagan, Mr. Veerappa Moily stated, “I will not say anything till September 2.”

Mr. Jagan, son of former Chief Minister late Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, plans to address a public meeting at Tirupati on September 2, the first death anniversary of his father. The next day, he is expected to launch the yatra in Prakasam district. - PTI
