Mr.Girish

YSR is never the role model and he has looted A.P.Treasury of 100000 crores through Jalayagnam and have the complete info on his stashed investments .This corrupt fellow sent A.P.back by 3 decades and A.P.is suffering from this Nero’s overt love to his son Y.S.Jagan and not only that this joker was instrumental in large scale conversion to christianity through his son in law. Want more info mail me

girish,
I do have some serious problems with your article. One, Andhra has indeed ”shown
results” in the NREGS, but it has been the most corrupt
implementation of the programme in any state in India. Both AP and
Rajasthan have cooked up work lists, cooked up the number of people
the money was given to and there has been next to no tangible assets
created, its all been on paper. the rdpr has finally realised it now
and are now keeping quiet, as they tom-tommed the ”achievements” of
the YSR and Vasundara raje govts earlier. now that they have done a
ground check, they realised the truth…
secondly i dont agree with u that YSR’s projects actually helped the
rural poor. SMK’s projects did, but YSR has won his election just like
the BJP did in kkt — thru caste and money. I agree one cant be too
harsh and critical in an obit, but urs is a column and i would not
want to u project that guy in this life…:)_

I think this article is a timely beacon call on the politics of pro-poor policies that YSR championed. This is really what the media should be focussing on rather than the inevitable bickerings within the state unit of the Congress in the search for a successor. Kudos Girish for this insightful piece.

dear girish,

your assessment is bang on target and am sure you are right when you say that YSR’s son is a bit young and may have to wait a little longer.

really appreciate for keeping on sharing your write ups.

thanks and regards

Informative article and good enough to know about YSR and his importance in AP politics. Especially for a person in Gujarat.

A perceptive piece. Thanks for sharing it. Hope the succession is
smooth and keeps AP going in the right direction.
But I must say the display is drab and very reader-unfriendly.
Large, bold types do not solve the problem. It would help to have
smaller paragraphs and space them out.

I agree with you that the vaccum created following tragic and immature death of YSR is very tough to fill. I had met him when I was attending NRI meet in Hydreband in January 2006. In reply to a question he has smilingly and boldly said, ” Bihar needs extraordinary attention from centre and good governance by the state”.. Since then I admired him.

Nice and timely article on YSR- a very tragic death.
We have come to a stage where Corruption is a way of life; the only distinction made is whether CORRUPTION PAYS. In this sense, YSR is a model politician!
Since Dynasty rule is the only binding force in many Political parties, it is likely that the in-experienced YSJ may take over the mantle-he has atleast 4+ years to learn the ropes, and more so, knows the linkages to Money. He may still be successful, for the shear fact of being young (remember Kumaraswamy in karnataka)–but whether the old stalwarts will backbite him will be decided by how much teh High command supports his candidature.
