According to sources, Congress president Sonia Gandhi neither approved the yatra nor turned down the plan.Veerappa Moily, the AICC general  secretary who is incharge of  Andhra Pradesh declined to  comment on Jagan’s yatra.

Jagan during his recent meeting with Sonia Gandhi pleaded with her that the yatra will in no way have a bearing on the party.  He made it clear to Sonia Gandhi that he had  no intention of splitting the party or  joining any force like the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Sonia gave a patient hearing to  Jagan and was silent on the matter. She netiher gave him a positive signal nor did she ask him to shelve the yatra plan. She asked him to meet Veerappa Moily on this matter.
