Amidst the resounding slogans of ‘Jai Jagan’, YSRCP’s Samajika Sadhikara bus yatra marked its eighth day in Palasa in Srikakulam district with a triumphant celebration of social empowerment of the underprivileged sections.
YSRCP Regional Coordinator Y V Subba Reddy, Speaker Tammineni Sitaram, Ministers Botcha Satyanarayana, Dharmana Prasada Rao, Seediri Appalaraju, MLAs Reddy Shanti, Kambala Jogulu, MLC VaruduKalyani and senior party leaders participated in the events of the day which included a bike rally, visit to the recently constructed Kidney Research Centre (and the 200-bed specialized hospital) and finally a public meeting organized in the heart of the town.
Addressing a sea of supporters, Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao, beaming with pride said, ‘Usually infrastructure projects take at least 3 terms or 15 years to be completed. But YSRCP Government resolved to provide potable drinking water to the kidney patients in the region from the Vamsadhara project and today, within its first term has fulfilled its promise.’
He added, ‘In a world where projects often outlive governments, the YSRCP government, under the visionary leadership of CM Jagan, defied norms. We didn’t just aim to provide kidney patients with clean drinking water, we turned that dream into a reality in just five years.’
Exuding intense confidence and energy, Minister Seediri Appalaraju said, ‘Due to the negligence of the previous governments, the Uddanam region remained underdeveloped. But fortunes took a turn for the better when Jagan assumed office as Chief Minister. With his visionary zeal, he allocated Rs 75 crores to establish a state-of-the-art kidney research center, besides quenching the thirst of the people of the region with a massive Rs 700 crore drinking water project through the Vamsadhara project. Subsequently, to prevent people from migrating to other places in search of work from the region, the YSRCP government embarked on the construction of Mulapeta port in the region which would provide employment opportunities to thousands of locals.’
Lauding Jagan as a beacon of hope for the underprivileged, Speaker Tammineni Sitaram emphasized upon the government’s commitment to invest in human capital, particularly in the form of crores towards children’s education. ‘I want to know what the opposition could possibly stand to lose when underprivileged children are empowered with the gift of the English medium?” he asked. Hinting that the upcoming elections were a fight between the rich and the poor, he then asked the locals to unite and vote for CM Jagan who was a messiah for the backward classes.
