Andhra Pradesh 2024 polls: CM Jagan unveils 70 days roadmap for cadre

Visakhapatnam: Blowing the poll bugle, chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called upon the YSRCP cadre to publicise good governance and the transparent implementation of welfare schemes that benefitted the majority in Andhra Pradesh immensely in the last 56 months.

Addressing a mammoth public meeting of party cadre here on Saturday, the chief minister unveiled the roadmap for the cadre to follow in the next 70 days to make a clean sweep in the ensuing elections.

Door-to-door campaigning

“Why cannot we win all 175 Assembly seats and 25 Lok Sabha seats as we have brought revolutionary changes in educational, agricultural, health medical and administrative sectors and implemented a slew of welfare schemes without bias and transparency,” he asked the enthusiastic YSRCP activists confidently.

He told the YSRCP activists to go door-to-door and convey the message that the slew of welfare schemes would continue in future only if Jagan continued as Chief Minister.

“While the opposition parties are working on conspiracies to mislead the people for electoral gains, it is necessary for the YSRCP cadre to explain about the welfare schemes that benefitted people of all communities and all regions,” he said.

Jagan targets Naidu

He called upon the cadre to explain to the people how TDP president Chandrababu Naidu has cheated almost every section of society after winning the 2014 elections by defaulting on more than 600 promises. In contrast, YSRCP fulfilled 99 per cent of the election promises in the last 56 months, he said. Chandrababu has no achievements to his credit despite being chief minister thrice, he added.

CM Jagan said, “TDP is looking for alliances to contest the elections as Naidu can’t go to people alone and ask for votes.”

‘YSRCP improved AP’s health’

He said that the changes in the rural landscape are tangible in village secretariats equipped by 10 members including women police, village clinics and family doctors that extend preventive health care to the people.

The chief minister asked the party cadre to explain the changes in the health and medical sector due to the 17 new medical colleges, filling up 53,000 posts in hospitals through Nadu-Nedu and bringing health care to the doorstep of people through Jagananna Arogya Suraksha and enhanced free medical treatment up to Rs 25 lakhs under upgraded YSR Aarogyasri.

“People should be made aware of the social justice that resulted from SC, ST, BC and minorities getting 50 per cent in nominated posts and 68 per cent cabinet berths besides four deputy CM posts. Out of the 2,13,000 new government jobs created in the last 56 months, 80 per cent were bagged by members of the SC, ST BC and minorities who also received 75 per cent of the Rs 2,53,000 crores DBT amount spent by the government,” he said.

He also asked the party’s cadre to explain the transformation brought about in the educational sector to make the students of weaker sections globally competitive besides the empowerment of women.

He asked them to become his soldiers and take forward the success story of the YSRCP by defeating the TDP and its friendly parties in the coming elections.
