Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is scheduled to launch the third phase of the YSR Cheyutha scheme and lay foundation stones for development works at an estimated cost of ₹66 crore in Kuppam Assembly constituency on September 22. This is the maiden visit of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy to the home turf of TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu after assuming the Chief Minister’s office.
During the last one week, Minister for Forests and Energy Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy, along with Deputy Chief Minister K. Narayaswamy, YSRCP party leaders and key officials, has visited Kuppam frequently and held a series of review meetings on the arrangements being made for the Chief Minister’s tour.
After the sporadic violence and demolition of the ‘Anna Canteen’ in Kuppam during the three-day visit of Mr. Naidu between August 24 and 26, the TDP leaders have adopted a ‘silent approach’ in fighting the ruling party’s excesses with the support of the police’. The arrest of several key TDP leaders including former MLC Gownivari Srinivasulu in Kuppam constituency is said to have prompted Mr. Naidu to warn the cadres to slow down the pace of protests.
