Jagan arrived at Ichapuram in the district from Hyderabad by Faluknuma Express and was received by thousands of his fans and Congress workers.

The young leader unveiled a statue of late Rajasekhara Reddy on the occasion of his father YSR's birth anniversary.

He later paid tributes to his father at the 'Vijaya Vatika', which was built to mark the culmination of the state-wide 'padayatra' undertaken by Rajasekhara Reddy ahead of 2004 assembly elections.

Speaking on the occasion, Jagan said he does not feel lonely as his father had given him a huge family that comprised the whole of Andhra Pradesh.

Later, he left for Loddaputti village to console the family of Pyla Chandramma who died following the death of his father last year.
