Homage paid to ex-Andhra CM YSR Reddy on first death anniversary | Congress MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and his family members on Thursday paid homage to former Andhra Pradesh chief minister YSR Reddy on his first death anniversary. Jagan and a large number of family members took part in special
prayers conducted at a church inside the family estate at Idupulapaya. Congress
Rajya Sabha member K V P Ramachandra Rao, Congress MLA Konda Surekha and her husband
Konda Murali were among the Congress leaders who offered tribute to the late chief
minister. The YSR family has made arrangements to feed about a lakh people wanting
inside the estate. Special buses have been arranged for the convenience of the
people wanting to reach Idupulapaya. Earlier, the Congress Party had announced
distribution of Rs. one lakh to the relatives of each of the workers who had committed
suicide in shock following Reddy's death. At least 600 people are said to have
died after Reddy's death. Sonia Gandhi had earlier instructed the AICC to extend
necessary relief to family members of those persons who had committed suicide
after Reddy death. Reddy and four others died after their Bell 430 chopper crash
landed about 40 nautical miles east of the Kurnool mountains on September last
year. |
