YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy expressed his condolences over the death of Telangana activist Prof K Jayashankar in Warangal on Tuesday.
Jagan in his words described him as "Jayashankar as a great humanist and a warrior who had fought against discrimination of neglected sections and areas." and “He has given a democratic and ideological shape to the Telangana movement. His life is a role model for many leaders,” Jagan said.
There was not a single occasion when Jagan had met Jayashankar, leave alone interacting with him and learning about his ideological strength. One does not remember the Kadapa MP ever visiting Warangal, except for the infamous and abortive Odarpu Yatra. There was no occasion when both of them met for a long time.
Yes Jagan had to issue the statement as he is now a political party president. And he knows he cannot get into the good books of Telangana people without even condoling the death of Jayashankar!
