Jagan's mother meets Pranab, demands son's release

Presenting signatures of 1.30 crore people who have signed in favour of Jagan's release from prison, she told Mukherjee that her politician-son is being "targeted" by the ruling Congress.

Accompanied by party leaders, the widow of late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy told Mukherjee that Jagan has been languishing in a jail in Hyderabad since May 2012 and demanded that he be released.

Vijayamma said the party had organised a massive signature campaign for Jagan's release across the state and claimed 1.90 crore people had participated in the campaign.

"Due to paucity of time, only 1 crore and 30 lakh signatures could be scanned and all were presented to the President," YSR Congress MP M Rajamohan Reddy said.
