Social justice possible under Jagan rule only: Ushasri Charan

Kurnool: State women and child welfare minister Ushasri Charan has asserted that social justice has been ensured in AP under the leadership of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

The minister, along with MLA Jonnalagadda Padmavathy, was joined by BC, SC, ST, minority leaders of the YSRC as also ministers, MLAs and others for the Samajika Sadhikara Yatra in Bukkarayasamudram under Singanamala constituency on Thursday.

The minister said the Yatra would be held across all constituencies. She urged the media to focus on the positive impact the YSRC government programmes have on the SC, ST, BC and minority communities. She attributed the progress in adherence to the causes of social justice and women's empowerment to the chief minister.

“The welfare schemes will continue if Jagan Mohan Reddy is re-elected as the CM,” she said and urged the SC, BC, ST and minority communities to continue supporting the chief minister.

Deputy chief minister Amzath Basha criticised the previous TD government for neglecting the causes of social empowerment and treating BCs as mere vote banks. He praised the chief minister for appointing SC, ST, BC and minority representatives as ministers, MLAs, MLCs and MPs. “Granting the position of deputy chief minister to a Muslim in AP was a historic decision,” he said.

Bapatla MP Nandigam Suresh said justice would prevail in the case of Chandrababu Naidu. No matter how many yatras Pawan Kalyan and Nara Bhuvaneshwari undertook, “they cannot hinder Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s successful political journey.”

Hindupuram MP Gorantla Madhav praised the chief minister for prioritizing the welfare of SC, ST, BC and minority communities and said Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s leadership has elevated these communities.

Labour minister Gummanur Jayaram accused the TDP-Jana Sena alliance of preparing to deceive the public once again with false promises. He praised the CM for allocating significant funds to SC, ST, BC, and minority communities. “Our government is committed to the uplift of the poor and marginalized sections of the society,” he stressed.
