Amaravati, Nov 2 (SocialNews.XYZ) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday described the resounding victory of his YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in by-election to Badvel Assembly as people's affirmation of good governance in the State.

Terming Badvel by-election result as people's victory, Government Chief Whip G Srikanth Reddy said that people have reposed their trust in the state government, as they witnessed true welfare in the last two years.
He told reporters that the Badvel win has increased their responsibility in delivering good governance and stated that this is the victory of every Dalit, weaker sections, and every common man.
He said though the BJP contested the poll, it was TDP President N. Chandrababu Naidu who was working behind the scenes. He claimed that people were well aware of that fact and thus, rejected them both.
