Visakhapatnam: The Samajika Sadhikara Bus Yatra public meeting held at Etcherla in Srikakulam district on Monday drew large crowds of YSRC supporters.
Assembly Speaker Tammineni Sitaram, Deputy CM Peedika Rajanna Dora, ministers Dharmana Prasada Rao, Sidiri Appalaraju, YSRC regional coordinator Y.V. Subba Reddy, Etcherla MLA Gorle Kiran and Rajam MLA Kambala Jogulu spoke. The public meeting was organised at Chilakapalem Junction.
Echcherla MLA Gorle Kiran praised Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy for providing welfare schemes to the people “in a manner never seen in the history of the state.”
He said the opposition parties were conspiring against Jagan Mohan Reddy and his schemes. The welfare schemes would continue only if Jagan Mohan Reddy was elected again, he told the meeting.
Rajam MLA Kambala Jogulu said, “No matter how many governments came and administered us in the past, the living conditions of the people did not change until Jagan Mohan Reddy introduced a welfare initiative and changed the social conditions in AP.”
Animal husbandry minister Sidiri Appalaraju said, “Chandrababu Naidu abused the BCs, threatened to cut off their ‘tails’ and wrote a letter to the Centre saying BCs were not suitable to be judges.”
Deputy chief minister Peedika Rajanna Dora said the TD was issuing warnings to the people attending the Etcherla meeting.
Speaker Tammineni Sitaram said, “The huge crowds for the social empowerment bus yatra indicate the peoples’ love for Jagan Mohan Reddy.’’
Prasada Rao said the Chief Minister sanctioned '300 crore for the fishing harbour in Etcherla constituency. “If this harbour is developed, there will be no migration from this place. No one asked for the development of Etcherla harbour but Jagan Mohan Reddy had the foresight and granted these funds.”
