state Chief Minister K. Rosaiah asking party legislators to boycott Lok Sabha member Jagan Mohan Reddy’s consolation tour. Rosaiah, who has been facing lack of cooperation from a section of ministers close to Reddy since he took over in September last year, said participation in the ‘Odarpu Yatra’ would amount to “gross indiscipline”. “If anyone violates this and takes part in the yatra, the party will deal with them appropriately,” he said.



In Delhi, the Congress downplayed Reddy’s decision. “There are far greater issues, such as the Kashmir situation and economy, to deal with. This is not an issue about which we are worried,” party spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said.



Gandhi had earlier suggested that instead of a statewide tour, he assemble the affected families and console them together, as well as offer them financial assistance. Reddy did not do so. Yet, the party is unlikely to take tough action against him in view of his “emotional attachment” with the tour.

Looks like Queen is ready for compromise and will later side with winner of public emotion.
