Dr. Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy, honourable chief minister of Andhra Pradesh state of India, has been the most powerful politician in Indian politics in recent years. After winning the Assembly Elections in the year 2004, he had been sworn in as the Chief Misnister of Andhra Pradesh. He was the first Congress CM of the state in a decade, when Indian National Congress won the assembly elections after losing two in a row to the Telugu Desam Party.

As a heartwinning strategy, he planned a 1600-km foot-march in the year 2003. In his foot-march, he addressed   millions of people throughout the state, who later turned out to be the voters of Indian National Congress in the year 2004. Only because of the efforts of Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, INC could win the elections in the State after a decade.

After being sworn in as the CM of the State, he proved himslf to be the most successful CM belonging to th Congress Party in India. In his tenure, he got the fame of 'man of masses'. His very way of living itself reflects his burning desire for th welfare of his people.

In his tenure of five years and a 100 days, as the CM of the state, he could launch 17 major irrigation projects into reality in the state. This is a massive achievement, not possible for any oher CM of tha State. Anothr great welfare shme he brought into th people was INDIRAMMA ILLU, a subsiidised housing scheme for th poor. Dr. YSR could succeed in bringing the massive BHEL-NTPC project to his home state, Andhra Pradesh.

Aftr a 24-hour massive search by all possible means, th debri of the chopper was identified. Rajanna, the brothr of all Andhraits, has demiced leaving his people in a great sorrow.
