YSRCP MLA Monditoka Jagan Mohana Rao faced public backlash over the implementation of government welfare schemes during the party's 'Gadapa Gadapaku' programme in the town of Nandigama in Andhra Pradesh's NTR district on Tuesday. The incident occurred when the public opposed the local MLA's visit, causing tension in the area.
According to a report by ABP Desam, the villagers claimed that they had not received any benefits from government welfare schemes and that the village volunteers were neglecting them by not providing government schemes to the beneficiaries in the area. The conflict escalated when the villagers blocked MLA Jagan Mohan Rao's way, and a scuffle broke out between the two groups. The police intervened and brought the situation under control.

Earlier, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy had urged YSRCP party leaders to take up the 'Gadapa Gadapaku' programme, aimed to gain public sway ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections. He had asked the leaders to visit villages and explain the state government's schemes, and how people had benefited from the ruling YSRCP's welfare schemes.
Andhra Chief Minister emphasized that during their visits, the leaders should also solve the people's problems, and funds would be sanctioned to villages and the ward secretariat.
To ensure the programme's effective implementation, Jagan has ordered the formation of committees that will supervise the programme in each district. 'Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam' is a programme spearheaded by CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, aimed at improving the implementation of government welfare schemes and reaching out to people in the state.
