YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Thursday kick-started a new campaign -- Jagan Anna Pilupu (Brother Jagan is calling) – to attract village-level neutral influencers and present before them a potential alternative to rule Andhra Pradesh.
The first such meeting took place in Hyderabad, which will be followed by 13 district-wise meetings in the coming weeks. These influencers have travelled from Guntur, West Godavari, Krishna, Prakasam, Kurnool, and other districts for this meeting.
In the meeting Jagan conveyed his vision for Andhra Pradesh, this was followed by an open discussion in which the attendees put across their point-of-view on the pressing issues of their regions and suggested potential ways to address them.
The Jagan Anna Pilupu campaign, conceptualized by Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), aims to create a network of village-level influencers who can function as the link between Jagan and the people of Andhra Pradesh at the grass-root level.
These influencers were identified over a period of three months between September-December 2018.
Through the Jagan Anna Pilupu campaign, the YSRC chief will try to establish a direct long-lasting personal connect with these neutral influencers and regularly take inputs from them to aid his decision making.
Jagan wrote letters to all these neutral influencers, who in their own way have impacted the lives of people around them. They are teachers, doctors, social workers, lawyers, activists, village elders, etc. who are not necessarily politically-aligned.
Through meeting these influencers and understanding their point-of-view, Jagan and the YSRCP aim to start a constructive dialogue for reimagining and co-creating the Andhra Pradesh of tomorrow.
Jagan urged upon them to share their inputs and suggestions for the development of their region as well as their state, which could help him in creating a blueprint for Andhra Pradesh’s future.
Each letter gives the influencer an email id ([email protected]), a phone number (+919199691996) from the office of the YSRC chief, on which they could either give their suggestions or express interest in meeting him directly.
