YSR Congress Party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has announced a statewide protest campaign named ‘Vennupotu’, set to begin on June 4. As part of the movement, the party plans to organize demonstrations and rallies at district collectorates across Andhra Pradesh, targeting the policies of the current NDA-led state government.
Though Jagan has made similar declarations in the past without personally taking to the streets, this time he has assured active participation in the protests. He emphasized that he will stand with the people and lead the agitation from the front to build pressure on Chandrababu Naidu’s administration.
This protest is notably timed just days before the state government’s scheduled rollout of major welfare schemes. Starting June 12, the Naidu-led government plans to implement programs like ‘Thalliki Vandhanam’—a financial assistance scheme for mothers—and another initiative offering input subsidies to farmers. Both schemes were announced earlier, and beneficiary lists are reportedly being finalized.
Jagan’s move to initiate protests before the launch of these schemes is drawing significant attention. Political analysts suggest that the timing may be strategic. By organizing protests just ahead of the rollout, Jagan could attempt to frame the implementation of these welfare programs as a response to political pressure from the YSRCP. This might allow him to gain public sympathy and political traction ahead of future elections.
