Jagan Decided To Go On Hunger Strike

Hunger strikes are not new for YSR Congress party chief YS Jagan but they end up without any proper result. Yet again, Jagan decided to go for a hunger strike in protest over the delay in farm loan waiver scheme that was promised by Telugu Desam party during elections and came into power.  However, YSRCP leaders were against this decision of Jagan and opposed it.

According to the sources, few leaders opined that the party did not get much response from the earlier programs and it would fetch nothing to party if it launches another agitation. But Jagan is firm to go on hunger strike and if leaders accepted this proposal yesterday, Jagan was considering to go fast unto death from Eluru. In West Godavari district, YSR Congress party did not win even a single seat in May elections and so to strengthen the party in the district, Jagan opted Eluru.

YSRCP leaders advised Jagan to be in wait and watch mode as the government has announced to waive certain amount of farm loans in October and if government fails to do so, then Jagan can go ahead with hunger strike plan. Also the party has decided to stage protests from October second week in regards to the farm loan waiver scheme. In addition to this, YSRCP also discussed about the future of the party in Telangana state and spokesperson Vasireddy Padma said, YSRCP will also operate in Telangana. The government is yet to implement farm loan waiver scheme and we will fight with people over this.

Jagan Sets Deadline To Govt

Jagan Sets Deadline To Govt

YSR Congress party chief and leader of opposition, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has set one month deadline to the government of Andhra Pradesh to come out with a clarity on the farm-loan waiver scheme. Speaking to the media, Jagan has said, “we waited for more than a month now and the government is still making confusing statement on waiving of farm loans while the farmers are worried. If the government fails implement its promise, we will fight on behalf of people.”

Jagan also warned that his party will rise the issue in budget Assembly sessions which are scheduled in August. RBI gave its nod for rescheduling of farm loans yesterday and currently the Kotaiah committee is sketching out guidelines for the rescheduling. Chandrababu Naidu is likely to make a statement about rescheduling during the Assembly session. However, protest from YSRCP looks inevitable.
