Strive for YSR welfare state: Sharmila

Garidepalli (Nalgonda dist), Jan 24: Reiterating that YSR has been in the hearts of millions of Telugu people with his welfare schemes touching every section of the society, his daughter YS Sharmila has said that it is our turn to reciprocate and keep his ideals afloat to bring in a welfare state. “No Chief Minister had ever reached out to the poorer sections as much as YSR did, which is the singular reason that he still lives in their hearts. It is time we keep his ideals afloat and work together to achieve this goal,” she said while addressing a road show as part of the Paramarsa Yatra here on Saturday. It was YSR who has made agriculture a profitable venture and stood on the side of farmers, drafting programs that immensely benefited them. The loan waiver, 7-hour free power, compensation and other sops made agriculture very remunerative. Through Jalayagnam scheme he rolled out a green carpet in many arid lands, she said.
