YSRCP honorary Party President, YS Vijayamma, a day ahead of YSR Party leader Jagan Mohan Reddy’s “Praja Sankalpa Yatra” urged the people of Andhra Pradesh to bless him like they would bless their son.

Vijayamma asked the people to support Jagan Mohan during his yatra on foot, like they backed late Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy. Addressing reporters, Vijayamma said, “He is going to meet all of you, and will strive to find solutions to all your problems”.

YSR’s yatra was recalled by her and said that the blueprint of every welfare scheme he implemented was prepared during this yatra as Opposition leader. “After coming to power, YSR worked like a role model. People have seen the regimes of N Kiran Kumar Reddy and N Chandrababu Naidu, and how the welfare benefits did not reach them. I request you to bring YSRCP to power again”.

She further said, “CM Naidu is scared of Jagan’s yatra”. Vijayamma criticised the Aarogyasri scheme for covering people living in Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, Y SJagan has launched his padayatra today starting from Idupulapaya in Kadapa district. He paid tributes to late YS Rajasekhar Reddy at YSR Ghat and took the blessings of his mother Vijayamma and sister Sharmila. YSRCP MLAs, MPs and party cadres were witnessed in huge numbers in the launch. The Yatra will start at 1.30 pm from Idupulapaya via Vempalli where Jagan will have lunch and again start at 3.30 and by 4.30 he will reach Maruti Nagar village after which it heads through Veeragadda palli and Komaram palli.

YS Jagan will stay at Vempalli tonight and continue his Padayatra in Kadapa for eight days. The Padayatra, expected to cover 3,000 km, will continue for 180 days and YS Jagan will tour 125 constituencies and address 125 public meetings.
