Congress recalls YSR's services

“Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Dr.Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy had introduced several welfare schemes for the poor people without keeping in mind the politics. Arogyasri and fee reimbursement have brought great social change,” said Andhra Pradesh PCC chief N.Raghuveera Reddy.

A function was held at Indira Bhavan in Hyderabad on Tuesday to mark the fifth death anniversary of the late chief minister.

Speaking at the function, Raghuveera described YSR as a disciplined leader.

“YSR loved agriculture very much. During his rule, he provided water to several lakhs of acres in the state. His absence is still rankling us,” said the PCC president.

He said the state saw development only during YSR's regime.
