YSRC Honors Jyotirao Phule's Legacy
The YSRC party in Vijayawada remembered Mahatma Jyotirao Phule on his death anniversary.
They praised him for his work in educating women and fighting against unfair treatment based on caste and gender.
The party's leader, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, said Phule was a hero who made big changes.
The YSRC leaders also talked about how their government has followed Phule's ideas by giving women important jobs and making education better for everyone.
They were worried that the current government is undoing some of the good work that was done before.
YSRC observed the death anniversary of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule with tributes at its Central Office in Tadepalli.
Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy described Phule as a revolutionary who championed women's education and empowered his wife Savitribai to become India's first woman teacher.
Senior party leaders highlighted Phule's lifelong fight against caste and gender discrimination and asserted that Jagan Mohan Reddy's administration mirrored Phule's principles.
The YSRC noted the 50% representation given to women across party and public appointments, including key posts such as home minister and deputy chief ministers.
Leaders pointed to YSRC's education reforms, including the Nadu-Nedu programme and strengthened fee reimbursement, as advancing Phule's vision of inclusive education.
