In the run-up to the Assembly and Parliament elections — now less than a year away — Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is keeping a close watch on the performance of his MLAs, exhorting them to get among the people, even as her warned the laggards.
Charting a roadmap for the party to make a clean sweep of all the 175 seats in the next Assembly elections, Jagan has now directed the cadres to take Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam (Governance to Each and Every Doorstep) programme seriously and get involved in it.
Addressing YSRCP MLAs, MLCs, ministers, district unit presidents, and regional coordinators at a workshop of Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam at his camp office in Tadepalli near Vijayawada on Wednesday, 21 June, the chief minister said that the more the MLAs interacted with the people, the better their popularity graph would be.
“Performance is the only yardstick for giving party tickets in the next elections. If you want your graph to go up, involve yourselves in the Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam and solve people’s problems,” he told them, making it clear that he couldn’t be blamed if anyone doesn’t get a party ticket.
He made it clear that if the MLAs perform well, it would be good not only for them but also for the party.
“Non-performance would harm their interests,” he said, adding that MLAs, coordinators and activists should explain to the people the failures of the TDP and the achievements of YSRCP.
The chief minister also directed the party cadres to widely counter the “vicious and malicious” campaign launched by the pro-TDP media in the state.
For this, the cadre should also make use of his government’s fact-check campaign and explain the good work of being done to the people through social media. Social media teams of the party should be strengthened from the village level up for this, he said.
He said crores of poor people are dependent on the welfare programmes being implemented by his government and the cadre should take the party much closer to the hearts of the people by playing a proactive role in Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam, finding out their problems and solving them, he said.
As 92 percent of the rural people and 84 percent in urban areas have benefitted from the welfare programmes, the party cadre should take the beneficiaries along with them while countering the propaganda of the Opposition, he suggested.
“You should achieve this task in close coordination with secretariat convenors, Gruhasaradhulu and volunteers,” the chief minister told them.
Explaining Jagananna Suraksha that supplements Jaganannaku Chebudam, he said that volunteers, Gruhasaradhulu and secretariat staff would visit all families and find out the unresolved issues which would be solved by mandal and municipal level official teams later.
District Collectors and other official teams also would visit the villages every week.
They would also take steps to enrol people as beneficiaries who are not getting welfare benefits despite being eligibile, besides issuing necessary documents such as marriage certificates and ration cards.
For this, two camps would be held daily in every mandal of all constituencies for a month from 1 July and MLAs should be present, coordinating the Jagananna Suraksha.
Orientation workshops for party cadres in this regard would begin on 23 June, he said.
He said all this would be later followed by the “Why AP Needs Jagan” programme through which people would be told about the “revolutionary changes” brought about in the last four years — and the need to ensure continuity of YSRCP rule in the state.
