VIJAYAWADA: The YSRC has geared up for its second Siddham meeting at Dendulur in Eluru district on Saturday.
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will address the Siddham meeting and will give direction to YSRC cadre to reach out to the people for the upcoming elections.
The first Siddham cadre meeting was held at Bheemili on January 27. Siddham posters have come up all across the erstwhile undivided East and West Godavari and Krishna districts from where party cadre will attend the meeting.
The TDP-JSP alliance have come up with their own posters to counter Siddham campaign. Over 5 lakh people from eight districts and 50 Assembly constituencies are expected to participate in the Siddham meeting.
Elaborating on the YSRC’s poll preparedness, BC Welfare Minister Chelluboina Srinivasa Venugopala Krishna said, “The ruling party is way ahead in all aspects unlike the Opposition JSP-TDP combine, which is still struggling with their seat-sharing formula. We are sure that the TDP-JSP will face a drubbing in the elections because neither is there any consensus over candidates nor there is a common manifesto. Their agenda is not to serve the people but to serve themselves. That is why the unholy alliance can never transform into a competitive force.”
Denduluru MLA Abbaya Chowdary said the YSRC cadres responded loudly when Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy asked them if they were ready for the ensuing election battle.
“When the CM asked them, I am ready for this war, Are you ready?, he received a thumping response from the people at Bheemili meet. This kind of response speaks a lot about on which side the tide will be in the forthcoming elections,” the MLA said.
“The YSRC is a party which has a determined leader. We are a party that has fulfilled 99% of its manifesto promises. We are a party that has finalised its candidates and booth workers. We are prepared by all means possible for the elections. On the contrary, the TDP-JSP alliance is directionless,’’ he observed.
