The CBI Special Court that has denied blanket permission to the President of YSR Congress party YS Jagan to tour India allowed him to visit Kolkata and Lucknow on specific request from him. 

Jagan sought the permission from CBI Court so that he can meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Benarjee and UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to get their support in obstructing the State bifurcation.  Both of them are supporting UPA but against bifurcation in their own States.

Mamta Benarjee is against the demand of Gorkhaland. Akhilesh Yadav is against the State’s bifurcating into four small States resolution for which was passed long back in the UP Assembly by the former Chief Minister Mayavathi.

As they are already against the bifurcation of the States, Jagan wanted to ensure that they will oppose the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh when the Bill comes to the Parliament.  Although they are against bifurcation, when it comes to the question of other State, they may not go against the decision of the Congress party that is leading UPA.

That is the reason why YS Jagan wanted to make sure that they will oppose the State bifurcation Bill in the Parliament.  In addition to it, the talks may go around the Third Front also.
