YSRCP Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy marked the 100th birth anniversary of his grandfather, YS Raja Reddy, in a quiet and heartfelt way that resonated deeply with those who witnessed it. Choosing compassion over ceremony, Jagan visited Nirmala Sishu Bhavan, a home for specially-abled children in Vijayawada, to spend the day in a meaningful manner that honored his grandfather’s legacy with warmth rather than grandeur.
Joined by his wife and close family members, Jagan spent time with the children—talking, laughing, and sharing in small but special moments. He offered a floral tribute to Raja Reddy’s portrait and later cut a cake surrounded by smiling young faces. The simplicity of the occasion carried emotional weight, reflecting not only on the life being remembered but also the values Jagan holds dear.
What stood out most to many was how genuine the event felt. There were no stages, no slogans—just a leader connecting with children who rarely find themselves at the center of such important occasions. A video capturing Jagan’s interactions with the children quickly spread across social media, drawing heartfelt reactions from supporters and the wider public. People praised the authenticity of the moment, with many saying it showed a side of Jagan that went beyond politics—one grounded in empathy and humility.
As word of Jagan’s presence in Vijayawada spread, YSRCP party workers gathered in large numbers to welcome him. Their presence added another layer of emotion to the day, reflecting the strong bond he continues to share with his base and the respect they hold for his family’s legacy.
