YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is on a mass contact programme Praja Sankalpa Yatra which is soon nearing the 2000-km mark. The padayatra has been recieving a thumping response from the masses with every region rolling out a red carpet welcome to the people's leader. Telugus see a mirror image of late Dr YSR in YS Jagan.

Dr YSR was known for his welfare schemes which were popular with the masses. Now, the people's leader, YS Jagan too has been relentlessing fighting for Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh, among other things that affect people of the state on a daily basis.
