A tough minded optimist is one who is tough when the going is tough, said Norman Vincent Peale. This is what keeps Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy going, I suppose. This fact was evident as he emerged out of the Dilsukha Guest House yesterday after seven hours of relentless grilling by the CBI sleuths in the disproportionate case. The first few words he spoke after the ordeal was, 'I am cool.'

However the tired MP from Kadapa spoke just a few words to the on looking national media and said, `I have answered all the questions asked by the CBI and I am cool’. Though the style of the YSR Congress leader set most media intriguing, the vernacular journos were much distorted as he did not address them in the local Telugu language. The CBI has asked the young leader to be back at 10.30 am on Saturday.

The presence of Alla Nani, MLA from Eluru raised many eyebrows, it was evident that many have shifted loyalties from Congress and TDP to YSR Congress, but this was an unprecedented move by this young lion from West Godavari.

However critics fore cast more in the offing. Speculations were rife that YSR Congress party was turning more a communal part with the entry of Vivekanada Reddy from Congress and Mysoora Reddy from TDP. But the addition of Mr Nani dispels those rumors.

Well about this photo, this was not the photo taken during an emergency moment. But this security was in place around the CBI office on Friday morning as Mr Jagan was expected at the office for answering their questions in the allegations. A large number of police and Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel have been deployed. The Raj Bhavan route, which leads to the guest house was barricaded. (With Inputs from Internet- Aarkay)
