CLP in Andhra expected to discuss party affairs, Sonia story

HYDERABAD: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah today discussed the arrangements to be made for the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting which is expected to discuss party affairs in the wake of a critical story aired on a TV channel owned by party MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.

"We discussed the arrangements to be made for the CLP meeting this evening. Union Minister and In-charge of party affairs in the state Veerappa Moily would speak to the legislators," Congress Chief Whip M Bhatti Vikramarka told reporters after a meeting with the CM at his residence.

The CLP would discuss the party affairs, he said. The CLP meeting is being held against the backdrop of a airing of criticism of Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Sakshi channel owned by dissident Congress MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. The meet is expected to condemn the story and also persistent defiance of the Kadapa MP over the party's directives on his controversial Odarpu yatras.
