YSR Congress Party president Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy has learnt about the problems of people while he was on his ‘padayatra’ and people too have developed an affection for him and want him to be the next Chief Minister, said actor Jayasudha.
Addressing the media at the party’s State office on Sunday, she said that she was convinced that Mr. Jagan would excel as Chief Minister. He took out the ‘padayatra’ to catch the pulse of people and he walked 3,640 km across the State. He was not only able to catch their pulse but also capture their hearts, she said.
‘Arogyasri wonderful scheme’
Recalling the ‘padayatra’ taken out by former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Ms. Jayasudha said YSR shared with her how the ‘padayatra’ had totally changed his perspective on the troubles of the poor and farmers. People were in a way obliged to give Mr. Jagan a chance to be of service, she said.
While YSR’s Arogyasri was such a wonderful scheme that saved so many lives, the Navaratna’s of Mr Jagan were also full of merit, she said.
While all Navaratna’s were important the one which supported poor students to continue their education and the one which was of support to farmers were her favourite. Ms Jayasudha said that she came to realise the key role farmers play in society only recently and now felt thoroughly indebted to them. Ms. Jayaprada said that she came back to politics to serve people. She took a break after her earlier stint as Secunderabad MLA. It was YSR who had brought her into politics, she said.
