Ensure clean sweep for YSRC in 2024 elections: Jagan tells partymen

Vijayawada: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has exhorted the party cadre to work to ensure a clean sweep for the YSRC in all the 175 assembly constituencies in the next assembly elections.

Interacting with the party cadre from Tekkali constituency here on Wednesday, he said there should be preparedness from now on for the elections due in 18 months. “There is no reason as to why we should not win all the 175 seats when fruits of the government welfare schemes are reaching the people in every nook and corner of the state like never before,” he said.

The CM said though elections are taking place after 18 months, it is time to start in the right direction with planning and in all seriousness. Some `1026 crore was spent in Tekkali constituency alone in the last 3.4 years through various welfare measures with transparency, he said.

He asked party leaders and cadres to seek blessings of the people in the Gadapa Gadapaku (Governance at doorstep) programmes by explaining the welfare schemes such as Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs), village clinics, volunteer services for every 50 houses and a village secretariat for every 2000 people and English medium schools.

Observing that the pilot project for the Family Doctor concept has started functioning, he said it will begin full-fledged work from the Ugadi. The Bhavanpadu port would be coming up in the constituency. “When we have won 119 of 136 panchayats, 74 of the 78 MPTCs, swept all four MPPs and ZPTCs, we can win not just Tekkali but also Kuppam hands down. Work for a clean sweep, be united and keep the big picture of 30 years ahead in mind,” he told his partymen.

MLC Duvvada Srinivas, former Union minister Killi Krupa Rani, Kalinga corporation chairman Perada Tilak and others participated in the meeting.
