Jagan gave unsolicited support to Pranab!
The Congress party leaders in the state do not seem to have any gratitude towards YSR Congress party president YS Jaganmohan Reddy for voting in favour of UPA candidate Pranab Mukherjee in the Presidential elections.
Instead of appreciating the gesture of Jagan, the Congress leaders started talking in a demeaning tone.
“Who asked Jagan to support Pranab Mukherjee? On behalf of the Congress party, we never approached Jagan seeking his support. We made a formal request only with the MIM and the Left parties. You better ask the YSR Congress party leaders as to why they had voted for Pranab” minister for legislative affairs D Sridhar Babu told the media after the polling.
He said the YSR Congress party might have voted for Pranab because of his secular credentials. He, however, said he would thank the Jagan party for extending unsolicited support for whatever reason.
“There is absolutely no truth in the media reports that Jagan has voted for Pranab as part of understanding with the Congress. The talk of vote-for-bail is only the creation of media,” the minister said.
