The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has squarely blamed the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for an attack on him during his ‘Memantha Siddham’ bus yatra in the city on April 20 (Saturday).
Resuming his yatra on Monday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy asserted that he would not be cowed down by such attacks. ‘‘The attack will not impact my resolve and my determination. Stooping down to such a low level by the opposition parties indicates that the YSRCP is close to victory,’‘ he said.
Likening himself to Arjuna of the Mahabharata, he said that shooting an arrow on Arjuna doesn’t mean victory for the Kauravas. The people were like Sri Krishna, who always stood by Arjuna. ‘‘Hurling stones at Jagan will not result in the victory of ‘Dushta Chatushtaya’ and feudalists (TDP combine). The attack has made it amply clear that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) will come back to power,’‘ he said, adding, “In fact, the attack on me increases my resolve to serve the people, not diminish it.”
