Sharmila revives people’s confidence: YSRCP

YSR Congress Party President Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s sister Sharmila’s Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra has multiplied the confidence of the people in the party and the leadership of Jagan, besides enhancing the self-confidence of the people.

Revealing this at a media conference at the party headquarters in Hyderabad on Saturday, Tirupati YSRCP MLA Bhumana Karunakara Reddy said Sharmila has completed ten days of her Maro Praja Prasthanam walking a distance of 137 km and covering 38 villages and two municipalities in YSR and Anantapuram districts as of today.

He said till now six lakh people have participated in Sharmila’s Padayatra with two lakhs of them attending the flagging off ceremony at Idupulapaya on Oct 18. “Even in Dharmavaram, more than 40,000 people turned up voluntarily to welcome Sharmila and Vijayamma on Friday and this indicates that people are showing their renewed confidence on the YSRCP and leadership of Jagan,” he said.

Describing Sharmila’s Padayatra as a historical necessity, he said Maro Praja Prasthanam will continue uninterrupted till it reaches    Ichchapuram. “YSR’s Padayatra in 2003 is now part of history. Sharmila’s Maro Praja Prasthanam will make another history and be remembered forever,” Karunakara Reddy remarked.

He reiterated that Sharmila’s Padayatra is aimed at exposing the conspiracy of TDP and Congress against Jagan. “Their efforts to incapacitate Jagan politically and his leadership will come to naught as people are regaining their self confidence through Sharmila’s Padayatra,” he said, adding that TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu is not doing anything to topple the anti-people Government in the state.

Karunakara Reddy said people have no faith in the leadership and Padayatra of Naidu as they believe that only YSR family members can do Padayatras and Jagan only can solve their problems.

“For this reason only, people in good numbers are following Sharmila’s Padayatra,” he said and added that people never hesitate to follow leaders who worked for their welfare. “Sharmila’s Padayatra has proved this.”
