The speakers eulogized YSR as the
one and only leader who strongly believed that the human life is a boon
provided by the Almighty to share one’s blessings with others, while serving
less privileged human beings.
“Don’t count the years you want to
live. Ask yourself how much you have done for society at large with whatever
opportunities the Almighty has provided you”, are Dr. YSR’s words of advice for
all. The late leader always believed in the words of Mahatma Gandhi who said,
“You must be the change you want to see in the world."

participants recollected the once BBC dispatch which said, “Dr. YS Rajasekhara
Reddy was an Indian politician who could boast a formidable mass following.
YSR, as he was popularly known, brought back social democratic politics and
schemes to Andhra Pradesh after five years of controversial economic reforms by
his predecessor. He had a reputation for social welfare schemes, which were
often derided by his critics as populist".
