The mega blood donation drive was organised to mark Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s 50th birthday on Wednesday.

In all, 1,29,451 people registered online through www.ysrcpblooddonation.com and also offline. The blood donation drive secured a place in the Genius Book of Records.

At a programme held at the YSRC central office in Tadepalli, international representative of Genius Book of Records Virendra handed over the certificate and medal to party general secretary and Government Advisor (Public affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.

The previous record for donating blood was set by South Africa, where 71,000 people became part of the drive. The record was surpassed by the blood donation camp organised by YSRC where 1,29,451 registrations were made.

On the occasion, YSRC workers took a pledge to ‘Donate blood – Save a Life’. They organised several service-oriented programmes across the State to celebrate Jagan’s birthday.
