Make good use of 19 months to prepare party for 2024 elections, says CM
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has called upon the YSRCP cadre to prepare the party from village level for the next elections due in a space of no more than 19 months.
The chief minister conducted a review meeting here on Wednesday with YSRC cadres of Addanki assembly constituency, where the seat was won by Telugu Desam in the 2019 elections. He interacted with the leaders and cadres.
He said there existed a negative wave against Telugu Desam in Addanki and the party cadre should take advantage of this. A sum of Rs 1,081 crore was disbursed under various welfare schemes in this constituency in the last three years, benefiting 93, 124 families. Some 6382 houses were allotted to the homeless in the constituency, land pattas were given to 9368 persons and ration cards sanctioned to 47123 families.
Referring to the Gadapa Gadapaku (governance at doorstep) programme undertaken by the party, the chief minister said party cadre should go ahead with the programme as a team, explaining the welfare schemes and trying to solve the issues raised by people.
Terming the programme unique and unprecedented, he said nowhere in the country did any other political party take up such a programme two years ahead of the elections. He referred to the grant of Rs 20 lakh to every village secretariat, which brought about “revolutionary changes” in the rural ambience in the shape of RBKs boosting up the rural economy.
The CM said, “Local leaders and cadres should make use of the opportunity and stand united like a family to enable us win 175 out of 175 seats in the next elections. With 87 per cent of the families benefiting from our welfare schemes in every village, a majority of the people in each village are favourably disposed to the YSRC and a majority of the people in every constituency will favour our party.”
Making it clear that he is doing his duty as CM, he said it was their turn to do their duty and ensure victory for the YSRC in all constituencies and “repeat everywhere what we have gained in Kuppam.”
