Jagan to meet Pawar on farmers issue
Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: Former Congress MP Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy left for New Delhi on Wednesday night to call on the Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar to discuss the farmer's plight in the State in wake of recent rains.
Maiden visit
This is the maiden visit of the former MP to New Delhi after resigning his Lok Sabha membership last month. The meeting comes in wake of the successful – ‘Lakshya Deeksha', the former MP had undertaken with over one lakh farmers, weavers and others on the banks of Krishna in Vijayawada earlier this month.
According to close aides of Mr. Jagan, he will meet the Union Minister at 12 noon on Thursday and present a memorandum giving details about the farmer's plight.
To seek aid
He is said to have decided to seek adequate assistance to the farmers, who lost their standing crop due to the unseasonal and heavy rains in several districts in the State.
Politics may figure
Sources said political situation may also crop up during the meeting in wake of Mr. Jagan's announcement about launching his new party some time in February. After his meeting, he is expected to return to the city by night.
