Inaugurates former CM Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s statue on BRTS Road
Vijayawada: Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy gave life to many poor people by launching Aarogyasri scheme and he was a very humble leader with simplicity, stated Home Minister Taneti Vanitha.
She inaugurated the statue of Dr Rajasekhara Reddy at food junction centre on BRTS road here on Sunday. YSR Trade union has installed YSR’s statue.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister Vanitha said Dr YSR always strived for the upliftment and development of the poor students and enlightened their lives by implementing fee reimbursement and other schemes. She said YSR provided medical and health services to poor people, who cannot afford treatment, by launching Aarogyasri scheme. ‘YSR is physically away from the people, but he is in their hearts.’
Minister Taneti Vanitha said Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is following the footsteps of his father Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy and has been trying for women empowerment.
