Former CM Jagan Mohan Reddy emphasizes YSRCP's commitment to values and credibility during the party's Formation Day celebrations.
YSR Congress president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy reiterated that the party always stood for values and credibility, which was evident from its tremendous following, and it would continue to be so.
Addressing YSRCP leaders on the occasion of the party’s Formation Day celebrations at its central office in Tadepalli in Guntur district on Thursday (March 12, 2026), Mr. Jagan said it (YSRCP) started off with a single person 15 years ago and had since become a force to reckon with and even gained a nationwide identity.
He said braving the conspiracies and deceptive politics of the Congress which was in power in the State and Centre and its ganging up with the Telugu Desam Party, YSRCP was formed on March 12, 2011. Since then the party has stood on its own and fought every battle on its own.
Mr. Jagan said the birth of YSRCP gave a new direction to State politics and it had been committed to values.

The escalating crisis in West Asia has raised fresh concerns over India’s energy security as the country imports nearly 90% of its oil. With the Strait of Hormuz remaining a critical supply route, disruptions could have major economic consequences. The situation has also sparked debate over India’s long-term oil policy, reliance on Russian supplies and the government’s crisis communication strategy.
