“I’ve done my part. Now it’s you to work for YSRCP winning 175 Assembly seats,” YS Jagan tells cadres

MANGALAGIRI: Chief Minister and YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called upon the cadre to win 175 out of 175 Assembly seats in the ensuing elections.

“I’ve done whatever I could in my capacity. Now it is your turn. I want you all to win. Go to every household with full confidence. Tell them that we did good for the poor, and now we need your support. Remember our target is 175/175,” he said, addressing a preparatory meeting here on Tuesday.

In his pep talk, the Chief Minister said that the worst advertisement he ever saw was that of Nara Chandrababu Naidu promising the voters gold loans and farmers' loan waivers. “All rubbish lies. Naidu made all these promises without knowing how it would be possible. We don’t do that. What we say, we do,” he said.

Explaining the reason why one could not find the TDP manifesto on their website, he asked how could the cadre explain what the party had done for the people in the absence of a manifesto. “⁠We came to power because we fulfilled all that we promised. People voted for us because of trust. Now, I want all my cadre to proudly visit every household and talk about how we fulfilled each of the manifesto promises we made,” he said, exhorting the cadre.

YS Jagan said that the YSRCP Government benefitted 87 percent of households, including 93.29 percent in Kuppam. “This election is not going to be a caste war, it’s going to be a class war. ⁠I want you all to go to every household and say that if Jagan is there, the welfare schemes will continue and if they don’t vote for YSRCP, all the welfare will stop,” he pointed out.

Terming the party manifesto as the holy bible, he said that in contrast, TDP considered their manifesto as a waste paper worth dumping in a dustbin. “It is all about trust. If Jagan says he will do it. Jagan makes promises only after thinking. Not like Naidu,” he added.

Stressing the need to be organised he called upon all MLAs and booth-level leaders to assess their booth capacity and structure. He advised them to appoint a credible person. “This person should equip the cadre as well as monitor them. But you all need to be available at all times. Even if you get calls at midnight, you should answer them,” he said.

He also urged them to tag with volunteers and ‘gruha sarathis’ and make their team. Each booth team should have 15-18 members, he said. “Our Government has an impeccable record. We have done great work. Now just concentrate on the organisation. ⁠If we have benefitted everyone why we should not get the absolute majority? The majority should start from Kuppam,” he said.
