Jagan warns of Sonia tirade in coming days

The 'bad boy' of Congress S Jaganmohan Reddy on Tuesday launched a broadside against UPA chairperson and Congress party president Sonia Gandhi making it clear that was ready to take her head on in the coming days.

Accusing her as a merciless, jealous and vicious woman, he made it clear that his fight would be against those elements in her. Jagan likened himself as upright and man of integrity.

The former MP was speaking with his followers at Pulivendula of Kadapa district in Andhra Pradesh. In the meeting he announced that would launch the new party within 45 days.

Explaining reasons for his departure from the Congress party he made Sonia squarely responsible for that. He said that had requested Sonia to take up Odarpu atra ( solace giving) in the state and that was being rejected by her.

However as had promised had taken up the atra and the Congress had created all sorts of troubles for him, he said.

Jagan said that the legislators and leaders were browbeaten from attending the atra.

" Even they went on to search my daily Sakshi' office. This could be understood if there was a Telugu Desam government in the state and NDA government at Centre. But Congress was ruling here and there. I asked the then Chief Minister K Rosaiah about it. He said there were orders from high command. How should I understand this", Jagan questioned.
