YSR : An Obituary

Nothing more tragic, the Andhra government would have expected. A person, A Chief Minister, A visionary, who didn't even surpassed a 100 days in the office as the Chief Minister, passed away off a chopper crash. He was about to give a surprise visit to his own villagers, but his life itself gave him the biggest surprise, the worst of all. He was a people's man, as known, for his welfare policies. YSR, steered his Congress party to two consecutive election wins, based his policies on a formula of a welfare state that delivers on rural employment, better irrigation, women-child upliftment and healthcare, such was his charisma. RIP, Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy (8 July 1949 – 2 September 2009)
