YSR Congress Party MLA RK Roja on Thursday warned that all the Telugu Desam Party leaders who allegedly masterminded the sensational attack on party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy at the Visakhapapatnam airport will have to pay as the case has now been transferred to National Investigating Agency (NIA).

Interacting with the media, Ms. Roja said it was unfortunate that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, instead of focusing on agrarian issues, was busy promoting himself.

“Doesn’t it look ridiculous on the part of Ministers to talk about the farming community when their leader had himself proclaimed that agriculture was a waste?” she asked.

‘Victory in sight’

The MLA alleged that Agriculture Minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy was making derogatory remarks against Mr. Jagan with the sole intention of remaining in the good books of the Chief Minister.

The YSRCP had decided not to attend the Assembly as no action was taken against 23 of its MLAs who crossed over to the Telugu Desam Party.

Adding insult to injury, four of them were made Ministers.

People of the State look determined not to repeat the mistake which they had committed in 2014 in the coming general elections if the unprecedented turnout at the public meeting addressed by Mr. Jagan to mark the end of the 14-month-long Praja Sankalpa Yatra at Ichchapuram was of any indication, she said.
