Jalagam Venkata Rao joins YSRCP

Khammam, Nov 20, 2012: Jalagam Venkata Rao, former Sattupally Congress MLA and son of late Chief Minister Jalagam Vengala Rao, joined the YSR Congress Party in the presence of party honourary president Smt. Y. S. Vijayamma at Khammam on Monday.

Speaking on the occasion, Venkata Rao said YSR struggled to keep people happy by implementing several welfare programmes during his regime. “But after his death, the present Congress Government has totally neglected the welfare programmes,” he said, adding he joined the YSRCP with the inspiration given by YSR. 

“After Jalagam Vengala Rao, YSR was the only chief minister who contributed for the growth of Khammam district,” he said.

Venkata Rao also announced that 20,000 families in the district had joined YSRCP along with him.
