VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy exhorted the YSRC cadre from Vijayawada East Assembly constituency to prepare for the polls by taking forward the good work done by the government during the past three-and-a-half years.
Interacting with YSRC activists of the constituency on Wednesday, he emphasised the importance of Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam programme to reach out to the people, highlighting the welfare schemes being implemented by the YSRC government, besides insisting on receiving feedback. “To further strengthen the party at the grassroot level, we are appointing secretariat-wise conveners and house chiefs for every 50 to 70 houses and they will be involved in party activities,’’ he explained.
A male and female cadre will be in charge to spread the party message, besides providing publicity material. No matter how small a problem anyone has, if it is genuine and missed, it should be solved and welfare schemes should reach all the eligible people, he said.
People who missed out to receive the benefits of welfare schemes due to various reasons, will be covered twice in a year, he said, adding that the revolutionary step was not taken by any previous government.
“Around 88% of the households in the State are benefited by the welfare schemes of the YSRC government,’’ he said.
In Vijayawada East constituency, he said 14 out of 21 divisions were won by the YSRC in civic polls. Asserting that winning all the 175 Assembly seats is not an impossible task, he exhorted the cadre to collectively strive to achieve the target. Devineni Avinash is likely to be the YSRC candidate for Vijayawada East Assembly constituency in the next elections.
