This is my first article in my blog which I am dedicating to shri y.rajshekhar reddy ,the Andhra chief minister who was formerly know as Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy & popularly known as Y.S.R. died recently in helicopter crash. Its realy a great loss not only to the people of Andhra pradesh but to the entire nation.
4rth September 2009, was a black day for the entire nation when this news was spread by the media agencies reporting that the helicopter had been found crashed on top of Rudrakonda Hill, 40 nautical miles from KURNOOL. The state government later confirmed this also and all five persons aboard were pronounced dead at the scene. Whole nation was shocked to hear this news that y.s.r sahab is no more… and we have lost a great leader. I myself was quite shocked after hearing this news about y.s. sahab and for a moment was stunned and could not think any thing else … its not necessary that after meeting a person personally only you can find him good or bad, some personalities are so high and impressive that you cant turn your back and have to bow you head infront of these great personalities and y.s sahab was one of them whose administration was so powerful and honestly being implemented by him .y.s.r sahab was not a politician , but was a true leader and hero of the people of Andhra pradesh. y.s.r sahab was fondly called y.r.sahab by the people , he was a doctor . He graduated with a degree in medical science from Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College (MRMC), Gulbarga University, in Karnataka and completed his House Surgeonship at S.V. Medical College, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. He was the elected leader of the House Surgeon's Association at S.V. Medical College, Tirupati.. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy practiced medicine for sometime in his native Kadapa District. The hospital his father built for him at Pulivendula is still running. His family also built and ran a degree college and a polytechnic college at Pulivendula which was later handed over to the Loyola Group of Educational Institutions. Another junior college at Simhadripuram, a small town in the vicinity of Pulivendula, is run by his family. He was elected to the Lok Sabha from Kadapa constituency four times and was elected to the Andhra Pradesh State Assembly six times from Pulivendula constituency. Reddy was the leader of the opposition in the Andhra Pradesh State Assembly for five years. As an MLA he was influential in obtaining water from the Tungabhadra River for the Pulivendula Branch Canal (PBC) and fought for projects like RTPP (Rayalaseema Thermal Power Plant) at Muddanur and Proddatur Milk Foods and its ancillaries. As a chief minister he has worked sincerely for the people of Andhra pradesh . He has initiated a variety of programs that influence the Economy of Andhra Pradesh and for the benefit of the common people and farming community. Prominent among them are: JalaYagnam – A large-scale program to construct more than 70 pending irrigation projects in the state to improve irrigation facilities to the farmers, with a targeted irrigation to 1.2 Crore acres of land.
- Free power supply for farmers for 7 hours a day.
- Rajiv Arogya Shree – A health insurance and emergency services scheme for rural masses where the government pays the entire price of any surgery up to 200,000 rupee and does not require people to pay any premium.
- Pavala Vaddi — a program that provides loans to people at 3% per year so as to encourage them to take up small scale businesses and entrepreneurship primarily targeted at rural women.
- Indiramma illu — a program for construction of houses for the rural masses by charging a small amount and the government the remaining amount.
- Rs 2/KG of rice scheme.
- Increase in the minimum support price for rice.
- Reimbursement of full college fees for backward sections, reservations for minorities.
Apart from these schemes, his government stood as the role model in implementing the central governments flagship program – the NREGA
Y.S.R.sahab was a role model not only for Andhra pradesh but to whole nation. He was not ruling any state , but he was ruling in the heart of people . The sudden demise of y.s.r sahab is not only a great loss to Andhra pradesh but to whole nation. More than I lakh people were standing when his funeral possession took place on 5th of September 2009, The last rites were performed in his rural town in Pulivendla constituency. This is my first article in my blog and dedicated to shri y.s.r sahab. I salute and pay my homage to this great hero who is ruling and will forever rule in the hearts of people.
