YSR Congress party honorary president Vijayamma sat for a two-day deeksha on Thursday at Indira Park, Hyderabad in protest against the GO issued by the government that caps the fees reimbursement of engineering students at Rs.35, 000.

But, the timing and span of her deeksha gives scope for all the political parties to flake her intentions. While, the Congress opines that she is fighting on behalf of the corporate colleges, TRS sees it as an attempt to influence the rural voters going for Panchayat elections soon. TDP believes that it is just an attempt to uphold her party spirits in the elections moment.

A Congress minister has stated that these days opposition parties are hitting the roads with their deekshas and padayatras, giving attractive and catchy titles. Though, the government is leaving no stone unturned in helping the poor, some opposition leaders are taking pains to spread gobbles against the government, thus misguiding the people. He said some opposition leaders are coming prepared with all the comforts of the house for doing such deekshas and padayatras. He said opposition has lost its self confidence due to the several welfare schemes being introduced by the state government. Hence, they fear loose their political identities unless they move among the people.
