Amaravati, July 6 (IANS) Strengthening its European base, the YSR Congress Party led by former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has formed new committees.

The formation of several new committees across Europe was announced during a programme held at Ingolstadt in Germany to mark the 77th birth anniversary of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR).
