Education Minister Botsa Satyanarayana reaffirmed on Thursday that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is set to be sworn in for his second term in Visakhapatnam on June 9. He expressed confidence in the upcoming election outcome, emphasising the trust the public has placed in Chief Minister Reddy.
Addressing the media in Vijayawada, Botsa contrasted the credibility of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy with that of TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu, suggesting that while Jagan’s track record resonates with voters, Naidu’s does not.
Botsa criticised the TDP’s election strategy of disparaging Jagan, pointing out that it lacked substance and failed to address the State’s needs.
Highlighting the public’s faith in Jagan’s leadership, Minister Botsa noted a shift in the State’s political landscape under the CM’s tenure, asserting that Jagan’s governance has set a precedent unmatched by other states.
“We urged voters to consider the tangible benefits of Jagan’s governance over the past five years,” he remarked. “Our commitment to continuing essential reforms remains steadfast. We are transparent with the public about any unfulfilled promises, providing clear explanations for their status.”
Minister Botsa emphasised the electorate’s demand for continued YSRCP leadership, evident in the high voter turnout during the recent polls.

He projected confidence in Jagan’s re-election, with the vote counting scheduled for June 4 preceding the Chief Minister’s anticipated oath-taking ceremony on June 9.
Moreover, Minister Botsa highlighted the public’s expectations of social security and reliable pension disbursements under YSRCP governance, drawing parallels between Chief Minister Reddy and his late father, Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy, both of whom resonate deeply with the people.
Regarding recent unrest in the State, Minister Botsa urged restraint, emphasising the YSRCP’s commitment to upholding law and order without resorting to vigilante measures. He underscored the party’s resolve to prioritise governance and maintain stability throughout the State in the upcoming term
