YSR Congress party president and former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday presented a roadmap for the party leaders and cadre for the next four years to strengthen the party and expose the Telugu Desam Party-led coalition government in the state and strive for bringing the YSRCP back to power.
Addressing the district presidents of the party at Tadepalli, Jagan said mandal committees should be formed by May ending and in the next two months village and municipal division committees should be formed.
Between August and October, booth level panels should be formed to take forward the party agenda from district to village level.
“The role of the district presidents would be very vital in the party structure and they would have a free hand in picking the worthy candidates,” he said.
He said the district party presidents would be responsible to ensure that they would win all the seats in their respective districts.
“You have to take the power and responsibility,” he said.
Jagan said the leadership quality of the party leaders will come to the fore only when the party is in the Opposition, like the batsman’s talent is revealed only when he is chasing a huge target.
“We will be elevated on what we have done while in Opposition, and our image will be elevated in the public when we become their voice and question the government on the irregularities,” he said.
He said in every district, about 12,000 people will be available for the party work, and 1,500 would be working at the constituency level once the restructuring of the party is done.
Jagan gave clarion call to the party cadre to highlight the failures of the coalition government and be the voice of the voiceless, besides working towards strengthening the party up to the grassroots level.
“Chandrababu Naidu's government has failed on all fronts, and the anti-incumbency factor is mounting with education, health, and agriculture sectors being totally neglected, and all sections of people expressing dissent over his destructive politics. Corruption has been rampant, and the Red Book constitution is being implemented,” he alleged.
“These are factors that should be taken to the village level and stand for the cause of the poor, and you should voluntarily take the initiative and work in tandem with constituency in-charges to move forward by exposing the failures of the coalition government. There is a need to take up the farmers' issue and stand with them, questioning the government,” he added.
