The Congress party on Tuesday demanded that the Telangana government establish a world class memorial for former Chief Minister YS Rajashekhar Reddy. Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy, in a media statement, said the State government should initiate the process for setting up YSR Memorial by allocating land at an important location in Hyderabad and provide funds.
"It is indisputable that the rule of YS Rajashekhar Reddy was a golden era for the then undivided Andhra Pradesh and people from all regions, especially Telangana, benefitted from his schemes. Several revolutionary schemes like Fee Reimbursement, four per cent reservation for Muslims, Aarogyasri, etc., helped crores of poor people and they redefined the concept of public welfare," he said.
