YSR schemes benefitted a lot
Kurnool: District Congress Committee president Lakkasagaram Lakshmi Reddy recalled former chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s services and welfare programmes introduced during his rule.
Addressing a programme held at Kala Venkat Rao Bhavan on 8th death anniversary of YS Rajasekhar Reddy, he said the welfare schemes not only benefitted the common man even lakhs of farmers also benefitted with YSR schemes. Recalling the schemes--
free power for irrigation sector, Rs 2 per kg, Aarogyasree, 108 and 104 ambulance services, 25 paisa loan to women groups, old age pensions, houses for poor (Indiramma houses), scholarships to students and fee reimbursement, he alleged that the Telugu Desam Party instead of mounting pressures on the Central government to accord Special Status to Andhra Pradesh, was satisfied with special packages as they benefitted him and his party leaders.
Recalling the victory of TDP at Nandyal byelections, he said the electorate are forced to cast their votes in favour of TDP with the pressure mounted on them or else TDP would have lost the election. However, the people of Nandyal are waiting for an opportunity to teach a fitting lesson in the ensuing 2019 elections, he stated.
