YSRCP Chief Defends Door Delivery System Launched Under His Government
Jagan recalled that prior to YSRCP’s rule, ration shops were plagued by delays, poor quality supplies, and long queues. He said that many families stopped taking rations due to these hurdles.
Under his government, village and ward secretariats, along with ration vehicles and volunteers, were deployed to ensure transparent, efficient, and quality delivery of ration to every household.
He emphasized:
“This was a reform the entire country praised. Why reverse something that worked for the people?”

Jagan also pointed out that the discontinuation of 9,260 ration vehicles has left around 20,000 people jobless, most of whom belong to BC, SC, ST, and minority communities.
He further accused the TDP government of:
- Laying off 2.6 lakh volunteers
- Removing over 3 lakh workers from other state-run services such as AP Beverages Corporation and AP Fibernet
- Dismantling village clinics, RBKs, and secretariats under the guise of “rationalisation”
“From Welfare to Exploitation”: Jagan Warns of Return to Old System
Jagan expressed concerns that ending the doorstep ration delivery system reopens the door for corruption and middlemen, leaving the poor vulnerable once again.
He accused Chandrababu Naidu of misleading volunteers during elections by promising them ₹10,000 per month, only to abandon them post-election.
“Only you can push lakhs of families into misery in one year, Chandrababu garu,” Jagan said in his closing remarks.
