The meeting is scheduled to be held at 2.30 pm at Sanghivalasa in Bheemili. Around 3 lakh cadres from 34 constituencies in the North region including Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, and Visakhapatnam districts are expected to participate.

YSRC general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said, during his election campaign, Jagan is said to sensitize the cadres about the welfare done to the people and steps to counterattack the opposition parties.

The city of destiny was developed during the Jagan Mohan Reddy regime and is going to be the administrative capital of Andhra Pradesh soon. That is why he has chosen the place to kickstart the election campaign,” he said.

Before the public rally, Jagan will address a party meeting at Bheemili. He would give a direction to the party cadre to reach out to the people and win their trust.

In a first-of-its-kind in the country, the YSRCP government will launch a program to register the house site pattas given to over 30 lakh women in the state from January 29.
