Guntur: As Andhra Pradesh gears up for simultaneous Legislative Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, the ruling YSRCP will hold its final and crucial meeting with the party cadre on Tuesday, February 27. The key meeting will be held at the CK Convention in Mangalagiri today.

The last party meeting before the elections will be attended by party workers from mandal to booth level, sitting MLAs and the former and newly appointed incharges for all the 175 assembly constituencies. The party has invited 2,700 members for the preparatory meeting.

YSRCP General Secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told reporters that the chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will chair the crucial meeting of party leaders and party cadre tomorrow. He said the chief minister will give direction to the cadre and supporters on how to reach out to the people and win the upcoming Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Sajjala added that the ruling YSRCP government has always remained among the people with its ambitious 'Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam' programme. He said tomorrow’s orientation programme will prepare the booth level committees and with this programme the party will complete its preparation for the upcoming polls.

“YSRCP was severely criticised while the names of ticket aspirants for the elections were being finalised. At that time, we told the naysayers that the ‘bad time’ will begin only for the opposition parties. TDP has humiliated Pawan Kalyan by giving only 24 assembly seats to his party. The ticket aspirants from the opposition camp are in touch with the ruling party and they have expressed their desire to cross over,” Sajjala told reporters.

Later, YSRCP MLC Lella Appi Reddy told reporters that the party has conducted its ‘Siddham’ programmes in three regions and all the events have been a grand success. He added that the party will achieve its goal of all the 175 assembly seats in the forthcoming elections and no other party can stop the YSRCP juggernaut.
