State Education Minister Botsa Satyanarayana has lauded Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s ‘bold manifesto’, describing it as a significant milestone for Andhra Pradesh’s future. Speaking to the media people on Saturday, Satyanarayana emphasised the transformative potential of the manifesto, which outlines nine pivotal promises. “These commitments,” he asserted, “pave the way for comprehensive change, with a renewed focus on social welfare, economic empowerment, and inclusive growth.”
Highlighting the manifesto’s significance, Minister Satyanarayana reiterated YSRCP’s dedication to prioritising development and welfare of the people. He likened the manifesto to sacred texts such as the Bible, Quran, and Bhagavad Gita, emphasising its role as a guiding principle for the party. Drawing a comparison with the previous government’s performance, Satyanarayana outlined the accomplishments of YSRCP, including the successful implementation of various welfare schemes benefiting millions of citizens. He assured voters of the party’s commitment to fulfilling its promises, citing past achievements as evidence of their dedication.
The Minister also underscored the government’s efforts to uplift marginalised communities, including SC, ST, BC, and minority women. Initiatives such as financial assistance, educational support, and increased pension for grandparents and widows were highlighted as means to alleviate financial burdens. Addressing concerns regarding the state capital, Satyanarayana affirmed the government’s commitment to administrative decentralisation. Plans were detailed to develop Visakhapatnam as the executive capital, Amaravati as the legislative capital, and Kurnool as the judicial capital, ensuring equitable development across regions.
Refuting allegations of economic mismanagement, Satyanarayana emphasised prudent fiscal policies under the YSRCP government. Efforts to enhance GDP, increase per capita income, and invest in human development were highlighted as evidence of the government’s commitment to fiscal discipline. The Minister urged voters to support the YSRCP symbol and stressed the importance of the manifesto in safeguarding the interests of the populace.
He encouraged every household to familiarise themselves with the manifesto.
