New Delhi, July 7 (IANS) The Congress Wednesday sought to play down party MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy’s decision to resume his ‘Odarpu’ yatra’ despite reservations on the part of the central leadership.

“I am sure the honourable MP knows what the party line is. It is not an issue we are worried about,” party spokesperson Jayanthi Natarajan said here.

Asked if disciplinary action would be taken against Jaganmohan Reddy, Natarajan said she was not aware of any such move.

Though the party had given Jagan, as the Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy’s son is popularly known, an implicit warning Tuesday against breaching party discipline, a senior party leader later said that the yatra was an emotional issue for the MP.

Jagan Wednesday left for Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh to resume his yatra amid speculation that he plans to float a new political party. In Srikakulam, he is to visit families of those who died of shock or committed suicide following the death of his father in a helicopter crash Sep 2 last year.

Party sources said that Union Law Minister M. Veerapa Moily, who is party incharge of Andhra Pradesh, is expected to give his assessment of Jagan’s decision to resume his yatra once he return from a visit abroad.
