"Jagan Only Hope For Congress"

Chief Minister K Rosaiah and Pradesh Congress Committee president D Srinivas on Wednesday came under attack by staunch Jagan loyalists who hinted that the 2 leaders were not charismatic enough to pull voters to the polling booths.

A day after the Telangana by-elections, the Jagan camp trained its guns on the senior party leadership in the state by saying that the only hope for the party rested with the young MP.

In separate press conferences, Nellore MP M Rajamohan and suspended PCC secretary Ambati Rambabu praised the young leader as the only Congress leader in the state with enough charisma to hold the party together.

Rajamohan told media persons in New Delhi that instead of listening to Jagan's detractors, the high command should reward him by giving him the responsibility of leading the party since, "Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is the only leader capable of ensuring that the Congress wins the 2014 general elections".

Meanwhile, in Guntur, Rambabu echoed Rajamohan's words by saying that Jagan was the most popular leader in the state, as evident by the massive turnout of people for his Odarpu Yatra.

Rambabu said that the efforts of Jagan's detractors were boomeranging on themselves since the more they were trying to spread canards about the young MP, the more people are thronging to him. He added that the 'disinformation campaign' by senior leaders in the party was only strengthening the young MP.

The suspended PCC secretary predicted that the Congress will not be able to wrest even a single seat from the TRS-BJP alliance in the by-polls. He also refuted the rumours about a separate political party being floated by Jagan.

He also fired a barb at the CM and the PCC president by saying that they may not be small leaders, but they were not comparable to the late YSR as he was a 'great leader'.
