Andhra Pradesh: Jagan sounds the poll bugle

While giving a clear roadmap for the party aiming to come back into power in the next elections , Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has asked the party leaders and cadre across the State to get in direct contact with people from May.

“We are changing the gear completely from May this year. Hope is always stronger than reality, but we see that the present reality is definitely stronger than hope. We have delivered on all promises made before elections and this reality should make us confident and strong as we seek people ‘s  blessings. Every MLA should go to people with a letter explaining about the welfare schemes, the details in the manifesto and details of Nadu-Needu scheme,” Mr. Jagan said addressing a meeting of Cabinet Ministers, regional coordinators and district unit chiefs at the camp office in Tadepalli.

“When we have done so well, we should expect not just to retain 151 seats, but to win all 175 seats. Why not? No government either at State or Centre has ensured direct benefit transfer of ₹1.40 lakh crore in three years, and this year we will ensure another ₹50,000 is directed credited into bank accounts of beneficiaries. We have shown in action what affirmative social justice can do to empower people from weaker sections,” the YSR Congress Party president said.
