Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is all set to commence ‘Rachabanda’, a mass contact programme, from September 2 or October 2, state government sources said.
Under the programme, the Chief Minister will visit village secretariats and meet people, receive their grievances and solve them at the earliest.
The staff is said to be designing the program to talk to people on topics such as ‘how is the performance of the YSRCP government’. It is learned that there is some discussion on whether to start the Rachabanda on the YSR death anniversary (September 2) or on October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti).
The officials are likely to decide on this considering the Covid-19 third wave effect. Jagan announced the decision during a review meeting with cabinet ministers and department heads and higher officials of various departments that he will soon visit village and ward secretariats in the state. The massive program will also act as a platform to review the implementation of welfare schemes being implemented by the state government at the micro-level.
