Tadepalli, September 9: YSR Congress Party president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has announced that he will undertake a statewide Padayatra in September or October 2027.
Jagan made the announcement while addressing a meeting of YSRCP workers from the Parchur Assembly constituency in Tadepalli on Wednesday.
The announcement brings clarity to the timeline of the much-awaited mass outreach programme, which has been the subject of considerable discussion among party cadres.
According to Jagan, the Padayatra will begin in September or October 2027 and is expected to cover several parts of Andhra Pradesh, with the YSRCP chief interacting directly with people during the programme.
