Stating that the party high command has taken the upcoming bye-elections in the State very seriously, AICC observer Dr Vayalar Ravi made it clear that leaders were not important and the cadre has to take the party ideals to the people.
Speaking to the media after a review meeting with the party cadre at the Chief Minister’s Camp Office here on Friday, Dr Ravi refuted the allegations of YSR Congress Chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy that the present Kiran Kumar Reddy government abandoned the schemes introduced by late chief minister Dr YSR. He also asked the State party leaders to appoint booth-level committees with 10 members each within a week. The Chief Minister, who also participated in the meeting, advised the party cadre to explain the facts about power tariff hike to the people.
