Notwithstanding the uproar from the opposition parties over Amaravati capital issue, YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is going ahead with implementation of welfare schemes listed out in his Nava Ratnalu agenda.
Jagan, who held a teleconference as part of Spandana programme, focused mostly on his welfare schemes. He wanted the completion of 25 lakh weaker sections houses by Ugadi.
