    He is the best CM andhra in that sense india had never seen before. Some of his welfare schemes like Free Medical, Free Health, Free Education, Free housing etc.. He distributed more than 6 lakh acres of land to the poor. He encouraged argriculture by giving free power supply to farmers are few examples of his schemes. He is treated as demi god. Majority of the houses of poor and farmers has his photo in their house.

    No one left with empty hands those who seek his help.
