Destiny seldom allows a rebel to rise to rule, if that happens, history grabs that rebel into its pages.
YS Rajasekhara Reddy, fondly known as Dr. YSR, was one of that rare rebels destined to rule one of the biggest states in India, Andhra Pradesh as it the most powerful chief minister so far ever ruled. This feat gets the more gigantic proportion if one considers that he was not from any regional party but a monolithic congress party, where all leaders are nothing but tiny fragments of dust at the feet of one Gandhi or the other from Nehru clan.
Dr. YSR was one among many when he won his Pulivendula constituency that later turned into their family’s impregnable fortress, in 1978 leaving his newly attained doctor’s white flannels to don Gandhian white khadi.
In initial phases of his political career, YSR glittered like the promising loadstar but later turned into the brightest shining star of Andhra Pradesh.
Dr. YSR led the Congress Party to power in Andhra Pradesh back to back in 2004 and 2009, and helping the party win the Centre as well in the process.
He implemented several social policies that endeared him to the masses, and at the same time developmental programs were implemented with equal importance. Welfare and development were two eyes to him. But unfortunately, he left us abruptly in an accident in the service of the people.
