YSRCP Chief and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, held a meeting with party leaders and workers from the Mangalagiri constituency at the party's central office in Tadepalli on Wednesday.
He urged them to remain steadfast and united in the face of challenges, according to a press release from the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP). During the meeting, the YSRCP President emphasised that true leadership is forged through opposition. He called for a robust grassroots organisational structure, including the establishment of booth committees, and assured that with unity and thorough preparation, the party would be well-positioned for the upcoming elections. In a strategic move to strengthen the party's leadership in the Mangalagiri constituency, the YSRCP appointed Donthireddy Vema Reddy as the in-charge. His appointment symbolises the party's commitment to supporting its loyal workers, ensuring they have strong leadership at the grassroots level. YS Jagan expressed concerns over the TDP coalition government's performance, describing it as a complete reversal of the progress made during his tenure. He criticised the administration for inefficiency, bias, and the decline of public systems, particularly in key areas such as healthcare and education. He highlighted that key welfare programmes, such as Aarogyasri, were being neglected, with over Rs 2,300 crore in pending bills, severely affecting patients' access to treatment. YS Jagan also addressed the challenges faced by party workers, particularly in the Mangalagiri constituency, and reaffirmed the party's commitment to their welfare. He announced the creation of a "Good Book" to document the efforts of dedicated workers, promising future opportunities and promotions. Unlike the previous "Red Book" practice introduced by the former TDP government, which Jagan Mohan Reddy referred to as a "malicious tradition," the YSRCP's Good Book guarantees that those who work hard for the party will be rewarded with roles and advancement within the party structure, ensuring loyalty and dedication are recognised. Reflecting on his five-year term, YS Jagan highlighted the transformative changes implemented across various sectors by his government. He noted that his administration had fulfilled every manifesto promise, introducing reforms such as English-medium education in government schools, digital learning tools for students, and comprehensive agricultural support initiatives. These efforts, he stated, were unprecedented in the state's history and had set a new standard for governance. (ANI)
