Vijayamma fights for social causes
Dr. YS Rajasekhara reddy when he was chief minister introduced and executed uninterruptedly the fees reimbursement for the weaker sections. Present congress government shelved it. For its restoration and maintenance Mrs. Vijayamma began a 2 – day protest at Indira Park.
YS Rajasekhar reddy allowed to all eligible candidates fee reimbursement for the entire course period. By this thousands of students could complete their professional courses and could as well become supportive for their parents and families.
Vijayamma’s main intention for this fast is to get restored fee reimbursement without any limitations to all eligible candidates by which lacs of students will be benfited.YS Rajasekhara reddy viewed it as a necessary public investment and government’s responsibility and implemented it at all odds. For that reason only even YS Jaganmohan reddy, president, YSR Congress Party, went on hunger fast for 7 days from February 18, 2011 to February 24 at the same place. Again on January 4th, 2012, he made one day protest rally at Ongole on the same issue.
After May elections, Vijayamma, as YS Jaganmohan reddy was forced into the jail, took it as her responsibility to fight for the cause of downtrodden people. Against continued power cut, she convened a MAHADHARNA at Transco office, Vijayawada on July 17th, 2012. In the same month, on 23rd, she convened a protest rally to alert the government regarding the problems of weavers.
To protest against the prevailing confusion on fee reimbursement, she convened a rally at Eluru on 23rdand 24th August this year. She participated in the Mahadharna at Pulivendula convened to alert the government regarding the problems encountered by farmers.
Taking inspiration from YS Rajasekhara reddy, who convened great Padayatras for people’s causes, Vijayamma carries the torch on her shoulder to highlight people’s grievances and make this sleeping government to take immediate action for the respective problems.
