Krishnaiah greets Narendra Modi and YS Jagan

Musheerabad: National Backward Classes Welfare Association president R Krishnaiah on Thursday greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and YSR Congress Party's president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on their victories in the just concluded elections.

The BC leader in a statement said people voted for Modi as he had provided a honest government and ushered in reforms. He hoped that Modi would introduce the Bill on 50 per cent reservations for BCs.

Greeting Jagan, Krishnaiah stated that BCs had voted for YSRCP after TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu had 'cheated' them, and wished to see Jagan as the CM.

He hoped that Jagan would follow in the footsteps of his father late YSR and keep his word. "This is why people have given him a resounding victory in the Assembly elections," he said. He urged the YSRCP chief to take steps for the uplift of BCs in education, employment, economic and political fields.
