Ongole (AP), September 26: Late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy has found a permanent place in the hearts of people due to a number of welfare schemes implemented by him, Congress MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said today.
“It was Rajasekhara Reddy who introduced schemes like free power, tuition fees reimbursement for poor students, reservation for minorities and old age pensions. That is why he is not forgotten even 13 months after his death…He will be remembered forever,” he said.
Jagan was speaking at various villages during his ongoing ‘Odarpu yatra’ in Prakasam district.
He reiterated his allegation that there is an attempt to defame his father though he is no more.
“They are trying to defame a man who is no more. How can a dead person defend himself. It shows the level to which political standards have fallen,” he said.
