A slew of developmental programmes would be implemented for the Muslims if Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was voted to power, said the YSRCP spokesperson Kolusu Parthasaradhy on Sunday.

Addressing a meeting organised in connection with the distribution of Ramzan tohfa (gifts) to Muslim women, he said former CM Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, recognising the fact that people belonging to the Muslim community were lagging behind in all spheres of life, had implemented reservations. The fee reimbursement scheme had helped the students from this section a lot. Party’s city president Vellampalli Srinivas criticised the behaviour of TDP MLA Jaleel Khan towards YSRCP corporator Jaan Bi at the foundation stone laying for a road in the 36th division.

City spokesperson Manoj Kothari, leader Malladi Vishnu and others were present.

Meanwhile, Jana Sena Party leaders distributed ‘Ramzan tohfa’ kits comprising 2 kg wheat flour, 1 kg sugar, 1 kg semia, 50 gm ghee and jaggery to 1,500 Muslim families from economically backward sections at Gandhi Bomma Centre, Winchipet in One Town area.

Imams of 22 mosques in the city and Krishna district JSP observer Ch. Parthasaradhy were present. The leaders appealed to people from all sections of society to extend their support to their party president Pawan Kalyan.
