What attracts the man in the street to the YSR Congress party? What is the magnetic appeal which YS Jagan has, that not only brings massive crowds to his meetings, but instils confidence in them? Why does the heart of the common man beat for the YSRCP? Sample these responses:

“Repeating the yellow media allegations against YSR Congress party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, when some people asked me why I wanted to support him, I replied, YS Jagan is a victim of Congress and Chandrababu Naidu’s conspiracies and his favourite media outlets’ vicious propaganda. If you want to know the reason why I back him...

- It is because for nine years he has been amidst the masses constantly fighting for their causes.

- His self-confidence and strength of will in the days following his father, Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s tragic demise, at a time when he was politically isolated, was inspiring.

- His intrinsic goodness even when he was ridiculed by all other political parties.

- His immense faith in himself and in the people of Andhra Pradesh even after he was implicated in false cases by the unholy nexus of TDP-Congress combine.

- His fearlessness, determination and commitment towards the people, as seen from the fact that he set out on his Odarpu Yatra though he was threatened by the Congress and vindictive ED/IT raids carried out on his properties and assets.

- YS Jagan‘s tough fight to the TDP-BJP-Jana Sena alliance in 2014 elections in which the YSRCP fought all alone.

- His equanimity and poise when 23 MLAs of YSRCP were bought over by the ruling TDP.

- His 3,648KM long Padayatra in scorching heat through the length and breadth of Andhra Pradesh, meeting the common citizens and gaining an insight into their lives under TDP rule.

- The unprecedented crowds who throng his public meetings day after day looking up to him with hope and faith.

- The personal element he brings to his interaction with people by remembering every individual‘s name even if he would have met that person six months after he had first met him or her.

- YS Jagan‘s commitment to serve the poor of the state and his unflinching zeal to move ahead regardless of all obstacles in his path.

These are reasons why I admire YSR Congress party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and will always remain his fan.”
