Legislators loyal to Jagan to meet speaker, governor

Legislators loyal to Jagan to meet speaker, governor
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh MLAs, who quit in support of Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, would meet state Assembly Speaker and Governor today to urge them to accept their resignations.

"The MLAs would meet Speaker and also Governor. We will tell the Governor about the attempts to defame late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy in the FIR (of CBI over its probe into cases related to Jagan). Though the Governor is not concerned with resignations, we would like to tell him about it," rebel Congress MLA P Subhash Chandra Bose, who too has submitted his resignation, told reporters after a meeting with Jagan in Hyderabad.

Twenty-six MLAs, including two from Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and one from erstwhile Praja Rajyam, had resigned from their posts in protest against the alleged inclusion of Rajasekhara Reddy's name in the CBI's FIR.

Asserting that there is no threat to its government with the resignation of MLAs, the ruling Congress had said there was no need to persuade them to take back their resignations.

Alleging that the action of MLAs in support of Jagan amounted to supporting corruption, state Congress president Botsa Satyanarayana had asked the legislators to get their resignations accepted.

Meanwhile, Jagan, Lok Sabha member from Kadapa, is likely to go to Delhi today.

He is likely to meet leaders of different parties to tell them about the "politically-motivated" CBI probe into the corruption cases, sources said.
