YSR Congress Party (YSRCP)’s Samajika Sadhikara Yatra in Pathapatnam Assembly constituency to uplift people & reduce poverty. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has invested in human capital.
Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao has said that real development means uplifting the people and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has shown the way to do it.
Participating in the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP)’s Samajika Sadhikara Yatra in Pathapatnam Assembly constituency on December 13 (Wednesday), Mr. Prasada Rao said that the founding principle and ideology of the YSRCP was to ‘invest in human capital’.
He wondered what was the point in creating infrastructure when people were unable to manage two square meals a day, and asserted that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had reduced poverty to a large extent amidst heavy odds.
“The Chief Minister has laid equal focus on development, which is evident from the GSDP growth and per capita income figures,” Mr. Prasada Rao added.
MLA Reddy Santhi said Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had got Uddanam Research Centre established, while the TDP government during its tenure could not even appoint a nephrologist, who would take care of the kidney patients in the region.
She said that the YSRCP government had allocated ₹1,800 crore for the development of Pathapatnam constituency. A sum of ₹750 crore was spent on the supply of clean drinking water alone and another ₹216 crore on irrigation projects in the constituency.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
