Desperation Drives Jagan to Delhi

Kadapa MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is facing CBI probe into the allegations of amassing illegal wealth against him, seems to be too desperate to garner support of the non-Congress parties. He rushed to New Delhi to meet all important opposition leaders over the next 48 hours and seek their support against the alleged witch-hunt launched by the Congress on him and his companies.

Opposition leaders top-on-priority, whom Jagan wants to meet, are BJP's L K Advani, Opposition leader Sushma Swaraj, NCP's Sharad Pawar, CPM leader Prakash Karat, Janata Dal (U) leader Sharad Yadav, representatives of Mulayam's Samajwadi Party, Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party, Lalu's Rashtriya Janata Dal and other parties.

In his exercise to meet the leaders, Jagan is also likely to attend the Parliament on Monday. The YSR Congress Party sources say that though most of the appointments were yet to be finalized, the Kadapa MP is hopeful that these leaders would give him audience within short notice. "Jagan will call on all opposition leaders, including those from the BJP and BSP, to discuss several issues of common concern," said former minister Balineni Srinivas Reddy.
