Jayaprada set to join YSR Congress, may contest from Rajahmundry

Jayaprada, who turned 52 on Wednesday, dropped enough hints to this effect while speaking to mediapersons in Tirupati.



"I am going to contest from Rajahmundry parliamentary constituency in the next Lok Sabha elections," she said.

"Though I have invitations from several parties (to join them), I will prefer the party that has been fighting for the people's cause and has a wider acceptability. I will disclose my political plans before April 30."

Her expressions of sympathy for Jaganmohan left no one in doubt about which party she would prefer to join.

"The harassment of committed political leaders has been going on everywhere. In Uttar Pradesh, I treated Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh Yadav like my father.

"But he hounded me out of the party after mentally harassing me."
