Eluru: National president of BC welfare association R Krishnaiah hailed leader of opposition Andhra Pradesh Assembly and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy stating that he is a man who is true to his words.

He recalled that late Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy was a great and courageous leader and that the former CM had worked for the welfare of the BCs. Krishnaiah added that he promised and granted the required budget for the BCs development.

He remarked that late Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy was a leader who worked for the welfare of the BCs, and it is because of him the fee reimbursements have been rolled out to fund the BC children to complete their higher education. Dr. YSR had established Gurukul schools and welfare schemes.

R Krishnaiah said that YS Jagan was following in his father’s s footsteps and responded to the BC reservation plea when no other party did. YSRCP MP in the Rajya Sabha, V. Vijayasai Reddy had presented a private bill in the parliament and predicted that if YS Jagan becomes Chief Minister, BC reservation will be enabled in the legislature and fees reimbursement will be completely implemented. The BC leader questioned Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister over his statement that he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi over 40 times and wondered as to what he spoke about during these meetings.

He warned the BCs to beware of money and freebies coming their way as the elections are coming up. He appealed to them to vote for YS Jagan. He assured the BC communities that the YSRCP chief is going to fulfill all the assurances. He opened up about the TDP party and said that as they were scared, they did not invite him to the TDP BC meeting.
