Family Thanks Jagan for Aarogyasri Care as YSRCP Attacks Recruitment
A family met former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to thank him.
Their daughter, Dhansika, became very sick when she was a baby in 2019.
She received free brain surgery through the YSR Aarogyasri scheme.
Her parents said she recovered and is now healthy.
Jagan asked about her health, blessed her, and took a selfie with the family.
Separately, YSRCP spokesperson Gorantla Madhav criticised the state government’s police recruitment plans.
He said the government announced 1,600 Constable jobs even though 20,000 vacancies had earlier been reported.
He also questioned the promised jobs and the age rules for applicants.
Mahesh and Vineela met Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy at Gannavaram Airport with their daughter, Dhansika.
Dhansika received free brain neurosurgery in 2019 under the YSR Aarogyasri scheme at Ashram Hospital in Eluru.
The family said Dhansika recovered and is growing up healthy after the treatment.
YSRCP spokesperson Gorantla Madhav criticised the notification for 1,600 Police Constable posts despite an earlier figure of 20,000 vacancies.
Madhav also questioned the lack of five-year age relaxation and the government’s promise to create 20 lakh jobs.

YSRCP Criticism
Reported Coalition Government Action
Police vacancies and recruitment
YSRCP Criticism
Gorantla Madhav said the government should explain why it notified only 1,600 Constable posts when 20,000 vacancies had previously been cited.
Reported Coalition Government Action
The article reports that the TDP-led coalition government issued a notification for 1,600 Constable posts, but it does not include the government’s explanation for the difference.
Recruitment credit
YSRCP Criticism
Madhav said the previous Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government began recruitment for 6,511 police posts and accused the coalition government of taking credit for passing-out parades.
Reported Coalition Government Action
The article reports that recruits from the earlier process are now undergoing training and that the coalition government has held passing-out parades; it gives no response from the coalition government to Madhav’s accusation.
Age relaxation and protests
YSRCP Criticism
Madhav demanded a five-year age relaxation, citing Nara Lokesh’s earlier position, and condemned cases involving protesting unemployed youth and YSRCP leaders.
Reported Coalition Government Action
The latest notification reportedly sets the general age limit at 18 to 23 years, while the article does not state the coalition government’s response on age relaxation or the protest-related cases.
