With the opposition crying foul over excessive focus on welfare schemes at the cost of development, the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) coined a new term ‘Sankshemabhivruddhi’ (welfare-oriented development) and is using it abundantly to aid its public programmes ahead of the Legislative Assembly elections.
Tirupati Urban Development Authority (TUDA) chairman Chevireddy Mohith Reddy, who has been nominated as the party candidate for the Chandragiri Assembly constituency, said that ‘Sankshemabhivruddhi’, which is Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s prime focus for the State, would only be implemented if the YSRCP wins a second term.
