Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, president of YSR Congress Party
and MP, has said a vote for his party in the by-election will be a vote
for the poor as well, as 17 MLAs sacrificed their posts espousing the
cause of the poor and farmers.
He exhorted the rural
voters to note the supreme sacrifice made by his colleagues like Y.
Channakesava Reddy and return them back to power with a thumping
majority to teach the Congress and TDP a lesson. Braving the hot sun,
Mr. Reddy undertook a gruelling campaign in Yemmiganur Assembly
constituency on Saturday, which will go to polls along with Allagadda in
Kurnool district on June 12. He did not raise any of the controversial
subjects in his speeches except saying that he had to come to public
with the only plea of seeking support for his party. He highlighted the
support given to farmers, housing programme, fee reimbursement to
students, health insurance scheme (Aarogyasri) and ambulance service by
his father Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy.
The present
Congress government is not sincere about the programmes and tried to
dilute them. He accused the state Congress of being remote controlled by
New Delhi and of lacking individual decision making power.
After
launching his campaign from Yerrakota, native village of party nominee
Y. Channakesava Reddy, Mr. Reddy addressed roadside meetings at
Guvvaladoddi, Peddamariveedu, Chinnamariveedu, Aluvala, Yenugubala,
Daivamdinne and other places. Meanwhile, the police escorting the convoy
tried to enforce election code by asking vehicle drivers to make a
move. The poll officials monitored the electioneering process looking
for violations.
