YSRC chief Jagan hopes for early polls in Andhra, asks cadre to fight for public causes

According to YSRCP chief, working for the party and the people will secure a bright future, adding that time will pass quickly

Amaravati: YSRCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy on Monday urged his party’s MLAs and MLCs to mount an uncompromising fight for public causes against the N Chandrababu Naidu-led government, citing “intense public discontent at the grassroots level”.

Addressing YSRCP legislators, the former CM likened their role to that of being on a battlefield and urged them to march towards ‘victory’, emphasising that standing in solidarity with the people would guarantee success.

He convened a meeting with party MLAs and MLCs after boycotting Governor S Abdul Nazeer’s address and walking out midway. “I assure you that I will stand by you. This is an opportunity to prove our efficiency while in the opposition,” Reddy said in a press release, asserting that there is no need to ‘fear’ the TDP-led NDA government.

According to the YSRCP chief, working for the party and the people will secure a bright future, adding that time will pass quickly. He remarked that a year would go by in the ‘blink of an eye’.

Expressing hope for early elections, Reddy stressed the importance of focusing on public issues. He also stated that YSRCP legislators attended the Assembly to seek clarity from the ruling party regarding the party’s opposition status.

A YSRCP source said that from Tuesday onwards, opposition party MLAs would boycott Assembly sessions, while MLCs would continue to attend. Meanwhile, YSRCP MLAs T Chandrasekhar and B Virupakshi condemned Governor S Abdul Nazeer’s address to the legislature, calling it a ‘bundle of lies’ that focused on ‘self-praise’ and blamed the opposition without offering real solutions to public issues.

They alleged that the government’s debt is rising and criticised Naidu’s Swarna Andhra 2047 vision as ‘unrealistic’. The initiative is aimed at achieving a ‘wealthy, healthy and happy’ Andhra Pradesh.
