As part of Praja Sankalpa Yatra, Jaganmohan Reddy covered several villages in Sompeta and Kaviti mandals in Itchapuram assembly segment on Monday.

On the occasion, Vonturu village women met YS Jagan and explained that they have no safe drinking water facility and ruling TDP leaders and officials have turned a blind eye on their repeated requests.

Responding to it, Jagan assured them supply safe drinking water soon after his coming to power. Kaviti MPP and TDP leader, Kirankumari and her husband joined YSRCP in the presence of Jagan by leaving the TDP due to differences with the local TDP MLA.

The fishermen also complained that former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy allotted 16 acres of land to them for their houses, but later governments have been neglecting houses construction. Jagan assured them for quick completion of houses after assuming power. Jagan covered total 3,628.2 km distance till Monday evening as 339 days were completed in his Yatra.
