YSRCP leader and Rajya Sabha MP V Vijay Sai Reddy said the bus yatra is a massive voter outreach meant to highlight the development works done by the YSRCP government. YSRCP general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy exuded confidence of a thumping victory for the party in the polls. Sajjala claimed the state government has disbursed Rs 2.70 lakh crore through DBT and Rs 1.79 lakh crore in the form of non-DBT, benefiting a record 87 per cent of families in the state.
Jagan will interact with people along the route and seek feedback on the welfare schemes and suggestions to improve governance. party sources said. As he has held meetings in 4 constituencies — Visakhapatnam, Eluru, Anantapur, and Bapatla — last month, he will skip them during the yatra.
