YSRCP chief and former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy held a meeting with the party leaders and workers of Mangalagiri constituency at the party central office in Tadepalli on Wednesday, urging them to remain steadfast and united in the face of challenges.
During the meeting, the YSRCP president emphasised that true leadership is forged through opposition. He called for a robust grassroots organisational structure, including the establishment of booth committees, and assured that with unity and thorough preparation, the party would be well-prepared for the ensuing elections.
In a strategic move to strengthen the party’s leadership in the Mangalagiri constituency, YSRCP has appointed Donthireddy Vema Reddy as in-charge. His appointment symbolises the party’s commitment to supporting its loyal workers, ensuring they have a strong leadership presence at the grassroots-level. Jagan expressed concerns over the TDP coalition government’s performance, which he described as a complete reversal of progress made during his tenure. He criticised the administration for its inefficiency, bias, and the decline of public systems, particularly in vital areas like healthcare and education. He pointed out that key welfare programmes, such as Aarogyasri, were being neglected, with over Rs 2,300 crore in pending bills, severely affecting patients’ access to treatment.
YS Jagan also addressed the challenges faced by party workers, particularly those in the Mangalagiri, and reaffirmed the party’s commitment to their welfare. He announced the creation of a “Good Book” to document the efforts of dedicated workers, promising them future opportunities and promotions. Unlike the previous Red Book practice introduced by the former TDP government, which Jagan referred to as a “malicious tradition”, YSRCP’s Good Book guarantees that those who work hard for the party will be rewarded with roles and advancement within the party structure, ensuring that loyalty and dedication are recognised.
Reflecting on his five-year term, Jagan highlighted the transformative changes his government had implemented across various sectors. He noted that his administration had fulfilled every manifesto promise, introducing reforms like English medium education in government schools, digital learning tools for students, and comprehensive agricultural support initiatives. These efforts, he stated, were unprecedented in the State’s history and had set a new standard for governance.
