Political Diary

With the election campaigning picking up momentum and the last day for the campaign fast approaching, the Congress candidates and the leaders are hoping that jagan would campaign to garner the sympathy votes for the party.

As things stand Jagan seems to be evincing no interest in campaigning for the party at the moment. Added to it the sources close to Jagan revealed that there was no invitation to Jagan from the party leadership. According to the sources close to Jagan camp, though the election campaign started a couple of day ago with PCC chief D Srinivas and Chief Minister,Mr K Rosaiah taking part in the campaign but there is no intimation to Jagan from the party leadership on electioneering. Still stunning is the fact that the two prominent leaders in Jagan’s camp Mr Danam Nagender and Ms Sabita Indra Reddy have already started the campaign without Jagan.The Jagan camp feels that without any specific invitation if Jagan takes part in the campaign then it is not worth going for electioneering.

So his supporters are advising him to take up the campaign only after receiving any request from the leadership.On the other hand some senior Congress leaders who opposed Jagan right from the beginning are deliberately playing him down. Keeping aside all these speculations it is likely that Jagan will make a statement on GHMC electioneering on Sunday (Nov 15).The deadline for election campaign is November 21.
