Jagan arrives in 100-car convoy in Telangana to few protests

Thanks to his pro-united Andhra Pradesh stance, Jagan Mohan Reddy has always been not welcome in Telangana. In May 2010, when he tried to visit Warangal district, there were violent protests and Mr Reddy had to be escorted away by the police. Mr Reddy was then on a state-wide tour of Andhra Pradesh to visit families who were shaken by the death of his father YSR Reddy in a helicopter crash. Mr Reddy's support for a united Andhra Pradesh provoked an angry response from Telangana, which continues to demand statehood.
