| He will take part in Rotary medical camp |
Supporters keen on projecting the young leader
Voluntary blood donation portal to be launched shortly
GUNTUR: Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, son of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy will formally launch himself into public life by taking part in a medical camp to be held at Kakinada by the Rotary Club on November 8.
Vocal supporters of Mr. Jagan recently held a meeting at Kakinada and discussed the modalities for the camp, which they were claiming to be one of the biggest of its kind. The selection of the venue in East Godavari district was also significant since the Praja Rajyam Party is keen on making dent in the support base of both the Congress and the TDP.
With the decks cleared for the political launch of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy following the announcement made by his uncle that the former would be contesting the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat, his supporters have stepped up efforts to `project’ Mr. Jagan as a self-made industrialist and a philanthropist.
Mr. Reddy is expected to take part in a series of social and charitable activities in coastal Andhra, Telangana and Rayalaseema regions. A voluntary blood donation web portal would also be launched shortly, one of Jagan’s close aids revealed on Tuesday.
His supporters also feel that by projecting Mr. Jagan as a young entrepreneur and a philanthropist, they could counter the charisma of cine stars, who have either started new political outfits or have been actively campaigning for regional parties.
The district has already witnessed massive rallies taken out by various groups in the Congress. Agricultural Market Committee Chairman Lella Appi Reddy recently organized a yagam, while district youth congress held a massive rally. Some leaders, including few sitting M.L.As were now keen to jump on the bandwagon of Jagan’s fan clubs to retain seats.
