Vijayamma felicitates women of distinction

Hyderabad, March 8,
2013. YSR Congress Party honourary president Smt. Y.S. Vijayamma on Friday
felicitated women who achieved distinction in various fields on the eve of the
International Women’s Day.

Speaking at a programme
got up for the occasion at the Party central office here, Smt. Vijayamma
recalled the efforts of Dr YSR who initiated steps relentlessly for the
empowerment of the women.

She said YSR worked
towards achieving the goal of economic self-reliance of women and introduced
several welfare schemes towards that end. “Interest-free loan scheme for women
was most important of them. Most of the schemes introduced by YSR are now put
on the back burner by this present Government,” she said.

“Let us move forward
under the leadership of our party president Sri Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy,” she exhorted
them, adding that he has inherited the political legacy of YSR. “He will
reintroduce all the welfare schemes of YSR after assuming power.”

Directing her ire at TDP
chief Chandrababu Naidu and Congress Government, Smt. Vijayamma said there was
no difference of any kind between the Naidu’s regime and the present Congress Government
in subjecting people to suffering.
