YS Jagan Mohan Reddy brought the Volunteers system to keep people on his hold. Each volunteer is allotted fifty houses. People are totally dependent on them as if they are defacto MLAs or MPs.
They were Jagan’s observers and also pamphlet givers of the YSR Congress.
The impact of Volunteers is the much-talked-about topic in this election. Even Chandrababu feared their impact and had to fight legal battles to keep them away from the Election Process.
Even then, it looked impossible and so, he had to appease them with increased pay.
Even after that, we have seen around 80,000 Volunteers resign to work for YSR Congress.
Those in duty tried to create propaganda that Chandrababu is the reason for not giving pensions door to door in the election time.
But with the results, it is clear that People have rejected the Volunteers system.
Rejection of Jagan Mohan Reddy should also be considered as a rejection of Volunteers.
That means the system must be scrapped or needs a complete revamp.
If Naidu decides to make repairs to the system, he should not spare the resigned volunteers.
He has the chance to immediately create new jobs in the place of 80,000 volunteers.
Also, those not resigned but worked for YSR Congress should be reprimanded.
