Support In AP, Opposition In TS For Jagan Deeksha

YSR Congress Party chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy's Jala Deeksha (a protest fast) against Telangana's irrigation projects is evoking support in Andhra Pradesh but stiff opposition in Telangana.

As Jagan's deeksha entered the second day on Tuesday, TRS activists resorted to attack on YSRCP offices across Telangana against the deeksha.

Workers of the ruling Party in Telangana attacked the YSRCP office in Mahabubnagar town and destroyed furniture. They also burnt an effigy of Jagan in protest. When the YSRCP activists alerted the police, the cops rushed to the spot and dispersed the TRS activists by convincing them.

In Hyderabad, too, TRS activists took to the streets, and burnt an effigy of Jagan at the Chilukanagar crossroads. Later, they destroyed the YSRCP flag post in protest.

The YSRCP leaders and many of the general public in Andhra Pradesh however are happy with the deeksha being undertaken by Jagan. YSRCP workers from various parts of Andhra Pradesh were rushing to Kurnool and extending solidarity with the protest.
