Appealing to the voters to think about the development done in Andhra Pradesh during the five-year tenure of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) before exercising their franchise this elections, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said that his party needs to be elected again to ensure the continuation of the welfare schemes.
“The seeds of development shown by the YSRCP government in every village, town and city across the State will grow into mighty trees in the next 15 years,” observed Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy while addressing a public meeting in Repalle Assembly constituency in Bapatla district on May 6 (Monday).
“All welfare schemes will continue if the people elect the YSRCPagain and every house will reap the benefits. If the people vote in favour of the TDP-JSP-BJP alliance it will be the end of all welfare schemes,” he said.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said, “Trusting TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu would mean to get cheated again”.
Listing out the welfare schemes introduced by his government, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the farmers had benefited immensely from the initiatives including Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBK), adding that the YSRCP government had introduced welfare schemes for all sections of the society.
“Benefit of ₹25 lakh under Aarogya Sri scheme and initiatives such as family doctor, village clinic and Aarogya Suraksha have brought revolutionary changes in public health sector,” he said and mentioned other welfare schemes such as village and ward secretariat system, digital library, Disha app among others.

Mr. Jagan Mohahn Reddy asked the voters what good the TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu had done for the state during his 14-years tenure as the Chief Minister. “The people in the State will never trust Mr. Naidu,” he said.
