YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the CM of Andhra, has directed his MLAs to start door-to-door campaigns from May by visiting villages and enquiring about the welfare of every household. He held the MLAs responsible for taking good initiatives at the grassroot levels.
Setting the agenda for a two-year public outreach programme, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy directed MLAs to carry out a door-to-door campaign in villages and highlight the welfare schemes of the government.
Addressing the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YSRC) Legislature Party Meeting held on Tuesday, the CM stressed that it is the responsibility of all the MLAs to interact and address the problems of the public.
He directed the MLAs to take an active role in visiting villages and honouring the volunteers from Ugadi for their exemplary service and told them to visit at least three to four villages every day.
From May, each MLA should visit ten villages, ward secretariats and visit every household enquiring about their welfare.
Further, he said that the performance of MLAs will be taken into consideration, and it is their responsibility to take good initiatives from the government to the people.
He told them to train grassroots level leaders on how to retort the negative campaign of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and its friendly media, where at least ten members from each village should be made active.
The CM said the government will clear all bills including MGNREGS (National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005) by April 10 including for works in towns and cities and added that a Rs 2 crore special fund will be activated from April 1.
