All-religion prayer has been conducted in Nellore in support of indefinite fast of YS Jaganmohan Reddy, YSR Congress president and opposition leader in Andhra Pradesh Wednesday morning. Led by Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, YSR Congress supporters and party workers went around Rajeswari Ammavaru Gudi, Barasaheb Darga, Salvation Church to conduct prayers. They sought blessings of gods and goddesses to the Jaganmohan Reddy’s fight for the just cause of getting special status to the state of Andhra Pradesh.
” The special status for Andhra Pradesh is not our party’s demand. It is assured by the UPA government responding to the demand from the then opposition BJP. This means there was a consensus on according special status to Andhra Pradesh in the parliament. Two important leaders of BJP, now ministers in Modi’s cabinet, M Venkaiah Naidu and Arun Jaitley were witness to the debate and responsible for the special status arrurance. Now, they both are backing out on the demand for which they had expressed commitment from the floor of parliament, the temple of democracy. It is unjust,” Sridhar Reddy told telugu360.com from Nellore this morning. ” Hundreds of YSR party workers and people belonging all religions lodged a complaint with Gods about the injustice being done to the state. As the special status was the only option, our prayers will definitely be answered by Gods,” he said.
City YSR Congress president Tati Venkateswar Rao, corporator L Parameswar Reddy, L Srinivas Yadav, senior leader Gundala Madhusudan Reddy, senior leaders Dr Sattar, Kamal Raj etc participated in the program.
