Vijayasai Reddy said that Jagan Mohan Reddy took several historical decisions during the six-month long tenure and added that all the districts would be developed in a uniform manner.

Joining the birthday celebrations of the CM, Tourism Minister Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao said it's the first of its kind in the country where a state would have three capitals.

Further, he stated that the YSRC flag would flutter high in the local body elections also. He appealed to the cadre to work towards this direction.
