AP: Ramakrishna Reddy asks YSRCP wings to play pivotal role in local body polls

Vijayawada, Oct 12 (UNI) YSR Congress Party State Coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy called upon all affiliated wings of the party to play a decisive role in the upcoming local body elections by activating the party’s organisational strength down to the village level and focusing on legal preparedness, digital outreach, social media and visual evidence.

Addressing State Presidents, Working Presidents and Zonal Working Presidents of the party’s affiliated wings at the YSRCP Central Office, at Tadepalli near here, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy asked the party wings to identify issues concerning their respective section and take them directly to the people.

“Women, youth, students, farmers, BCs, SCs, minorities, employees, pensioners and professionals must highlight issues including fee reimbursement, employment, crop insurance, input subsidy, fertilisers, seeds, employee concerns, price rise, roads, drainage and streetlights, while comparing the present situation with the previous Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government’s tenure,” he told them.

Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy directed party units to prepare multiple alternative candidates for every seat and remain alert from nominations to polling, counting and ballot-box security.

Caste certificates and other nomination documents must be secured in advance. Any obstruction to nominations, police interference or misuse of official machinery must be recorded through video and documentary evidence for legal, Election Commission and media action, he advised them.

Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy asked the leaders to use social media’s short videos, local visual content and trained grassroots communicators supporting candidates across WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and other platforms. Experienced workers should also be identified as booth agents and deployed through polling and counting.

Party General Secretary Aluru Sambasiva Reddy said nearly 14 lakh people are connected to the organisational structure and the strength of affiliated wings must be fully utilised. MLC Lella Appireddy stressed coordinated responsibility from campaign to counting, while Women’s Wing President Varudu Kalyani called for extensive digital outreach on women’s issues, unfulfilled promises and the welfare delivered under the YS Jagan government.
