Ignoring the developments at the CBI office in Hyderabad or the FIR filed against him in the assets case, YSR Congress Party president Jaganmohan Reddy continued with his Odarpu yatra in Krishna district on the third day on Wednesday.

Jagan looked unruffled as he stepped up his offensive against the government in his public addresses. Enthused by the good turnout of crowds in the villages, Jagan reiterated that he had decided to face the troubles only for the sake of keeping his promise of visiting all those families who lost their kin after the sudden death of his father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. "My father had taught me a lesson that we should not go back on our promises despite personal problems. I have the confidence of overcoming all the travails with the support of millions of my father's admirers," said Jagan amidst thunderous claps from the crowds and his supporters. Squarely blaming the state government for failing to infuse confidence among the farmers, Jagan said the ryots' crop holiday has brought shame to the state.

"The absence of YSR is being felt by the farmers as he would not have allowed such a crisis to happen," he said amidst slogan-shouting by the villagers. He covered only three villages in Vatsavai mandal till the evening, due to heavy congregation of the masses.
