Maro Praja Prasthanam steals T hearts

Pulluru, Nov 22, 2012:
YSR Congress Party honourary president Smt. Y.S. Vijayamma on Thursday appealed
to the Telangana people to welcome her daughter Sharmila into their hearts with
love and affection like their sister, daughter and as a grand daughter.

Addressing a huge
public meeting at Pulluru in Alampur constituency of Mahabubnagar district soon
after entering Telangana as part of the ongoing Maro Praja Prasthanam,
Vijayamma began her speech by paying tributes to the Telangana martyrs who died
for the sake of Telangana and to those who died of shock in Telangana in the
wake of the tragic death of YSR in 2009.

Vijayamma said her son
and party president Jagan Mohan Reddy should have undertaken the Padayatra but
as he was in jail, he sent Sharmila to undertake the Padayatra to give confidence to the people in their difficult times.

Reiterating that
neither YSR nor Jagan Mohan Reddy was against Telangana, Vijayamma recalled the
resolution adopted in the YSRCP plenary demanding the Centre to find a suitable
solution for Telangana problem without adversely affecting the sentiments of
the people of any region.

“Telangana farmers
benefited most when YSR, soon after assuming power as CM, signed the file
relating to the crop loan waiver in 2004,” she said, observing that Jagan Mohan
Reddy, like YSR, would also strive for the welfare of Telangana people when he
comes to power.

In her speech,
Vijayamma referred to the plethora of welfare schemes innovatively introduced and
effectively implemented by YSR and assured the people that YSRCP would also
introduce the same welfare schemes after coming to power.

Referring to the series
of promises being made by TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu during his Padayatra,
Vijayamma called upon the people not to believe them as there was no
credibility at all for Naidu going by his past record.
