As part of his Praja Sankalpa Yatra, he covered several villages in Tekkali assembly segment on 326 th day of his tour. On the occasion, fishermen poured their woes before Jagan complaining that TDP government failed to fulfil its assurances made to them during 2014 elections.

The fishermen also demanded jetties on the sea coast to improve facilities for fish hunting and also requested more employment opportunities to them to prevent migrations of their community people to other areas like Gujarat and Karnataka State for fish hunting.
