Putting an end to YSR era in Andhra Pradesh, the Kiran Kumar government has done away with the former CM's photographs and name in all the government campaigns. Since CM Kiran Kumar Reddy came back from Delhi after meeting Congress president Sonia Gandhi last week, there has been a lot of change in government's outlook in case of claiming inheritance over YSR legacy.
Consequent to Delhi instructions, the information and public relations (I&PR) department in AP has prepared three major advertisement campaigns related to Indiramma housing, women empowerment and farmers issues. All of them being telecast in the electronic media, statrting from this Wednesday, are without YSR photographs. They carry photographs of Kiran Kumar Reddy and in some places those of the Congress chief. With regard to the portraits of YSR at various offices in the secretariat, instructions have been given to bring them down too. Some ministers have already removed them.
As per the sources, Sonia Gandhi is said to have instructed Kiran Kumar Reddy to do away with YSR legacy in the state. She is stated to have listed out two reasons for the congress to abandon YSR. One reason being that Jagan Mohan Reddy has emerged as the real inheritor of YSR legacy and there is no point in Congress shouldering it further as all the welfare schemes initiated by YSR are now being claimed by him. Secondly, it is time now for the congress to claim the welfare schemes like Rs 2-a-kg rice, Arogyasri, Indiramma housing, free power and Pavala Vaddi as its own.
