AP is role model for balance between welfare and development: CM

English medium schools, rythu bharosa kendras RBC, village health clinics are a testament to this change, he said. Pensioners are also as important as the government employees, said Reddy, adding that he learnt these things from his father Y S Rajasekhar Reddy.

Andhra Pradesh stands as a role model in the country with a fine balance between welfare and development, said Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in the Assembly on Wednesday. He made these remarks while passing a motion of thanks to Governor S. Abdul Nazeer's address to the Legislature, saying his mark of change is visible in every nook and corner of the state. English medium schools, rythu bharosa kendras (RBC), village health clinics are a testament to this change, he said. ''Agriculture is as important to me as industry. Petty traders are also valuable as the IT. Pensioners are also as important as the government employees,'' said Reddy, adding that he learnt these things from his father Y S Rajasekhar Reddy. According to the CM, governance under the YSRCP government was women-centric.

He claimed that YSRCP is the only party which has restricted politics to elections, especially while implementing welfare schemes to people from all castes, creeds and religions.
