Former Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday alleged that all institutions in the State have been severely weakened under the coalition government and said the present administration has failed to deliver any real benefit to any section of society.
Addressing YSRCP local body representatives and party workers from the Eluru Assembly constituency at the party’s central office in Tadepalli, he said public anger against the government was growing with each passing day.
Jagan Mohan Reddy said the YSRCP continues to stand firmly with the people during difficult times. Students, farmers, youth and women are facing serious hardships, he said, adding that the party is fighting on their behalf by standing with them at every step. He urged party cadres to continue this fighting spirit with greater strength and unity in the days ahead.
He said similar discussions were now taking place in every household, with people openly stating that life was better during his tenure. People remember, he said, that welfare schemes were implemented on time, promises were honoured, and financial assistance reached beneficiaries regularly every month. In contrast, he alleged that the present government has betrayed public trust by failing to implement its own assurances.
The former Chief Minister claimed that key sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture and law and order have been pushed into deep crisis. Fee reimbursement and student welfare dues are pending, government schools have deteriorated, Aarogyasri has been weakened, farmers have been denied essential support, and policing has collapsed across the State, he said. He added that even emergency services such as 108 and 104 have been rendered ineffective.
Jagan Mohan Reddy announced that he would begin weekly meetings with party workers, covering one Assembly constituency at a time, and would launch another padayatra in about one-and-a-half years. He said he would remain continuously among the people to fight for their issues and urged party workers to strengthen the party in the Eluru Assembly constituency by working in unity.
