YS Jagan Congratulates New Anantapur Mayor Ramesh Goud, Offers Guidance
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy congratulated C. Ramesh Goud on becoming the new Mayor of Anantapur. Ramesh Goud met Jagan at the party's central office in Tadepalli, where the former Chief Minister extended his best wishes and offered advice on discharging his responsibilities effectively.
During the interaction, Jagan emphasised that the new Mayor must live up to the confidence reposed in him and the YSRCP by the people of Anantapur. He advised Ramesh Goud to remain accessible to citizens, understand their difficulties and work with sincerity to resolve public grievances. He also stressed the need to give priority to urban development, protect people's interests and ensure that all sections of society are involved in the city's progress.
Jagan said the people of Anantapur had continued to support the YSRCP despite what he described as conspiracies, inducements and threats from supporters of the ruling alliance. He reminded the party's elected representatives that the public's trust came with a significant responsibility and that they must demonstrate their commitment through their work. According to him, the opportunity to serve as Mayor should be treated as a platform to address people's concerns and improve civic conditions.
He further encouraged Ramesh Goud to work in accordance with public expectations, establish a good reputation through his performance and earn the confidence of residents through consistent service. Jagan also expressed hope that he would advance further in his political career through dedicated public service.
Speaking during the meeting, Ramesh Goud thanked Jagan for placing his confidence in him and providing him with the opportunity to serve as Anantapur Mayor. He also expressed gratitude to senior YSRCP leaders, party workers, cadres and the people of Anantapur who had supported him throughout his political journey.
Ramesh Goud said he considered the mayoral position a responsibility rather than merely an official designation. He assured the party leadership that he would work with dedication to address civic issues, resolve public grievances and contribute to the overall development of Anantapur. He also acknowledged the support he had received from the party at different stages of his political career.
Members of Ramesh Goud's family accompanied him during the meeting and met Jagan. MP Peddireddy Mithun Reddy and senior YSRCP leaders Anantha Venkatarami Reddy, Sake Sailajanath, Talari Rangayya and Naresh Kumar Reddy, among others, were also present.
