Congress rebel MLA Siva prasad meets Jagan

Hyderabad: Congress rebel MLA from Darsi Assembly constituency B Siva Prasad Reddy on Tuesday called on YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president YS Jaganmohan Reddy in Chanchalguda jail.

Talking to newsmen at the jail premises, he said that he joined the YSRCP to bring back the legacy of former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy under the leadership of Jagan. He was elected as MLA with the blessings of former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy and Jagan, he added.

Siva Prasad said the Congress was a sinking boat and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) would vanish after 2014 elections. People were vexed with the cheap politics of the two parties and would teach them a lesson in a befitting manner in the next election, he remarked.

Earlier, YSRCP MLA N Prasanna Kumar Reddy who also met Jagan in the jail said that his party leader was active and energetic even in the jail where he was languishing from the last 12 months. He said that Jagan advised him to fight for the peoples' problems and work for the party's development from the grass-root level ahead of general elections in 2014.

Jagan always thought about the State and its welfare. He gave advices and encouraged the leaders who met him in the jail, he added.
