Andhra Pradesh stands as a role model in the country with a fine balance between welfare and development, said Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in the Assembly on Wednesday. 

He made these remarks while passing a motion of thanks to Governor S. Abdul Nazeer's address to the Legislature, saying his mark of change is visible in every nook and corner of the state. 

English medium schools, Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBC), and village health clinics are a testament to this change, he said. 

"Agriculture is as important to me as the industry. Petty traders are also valuable as IT. Pensioners are also as important as the government employees," said Reddy, adding that he learnt these things from his father Y S Rajasekhar Reddy. 

According to the CM, governance under the YSRCP government was women-centric.

He claimed that YSRCP is the only party that has restricted politics to elections, especially while implementing welfare schemes for people from all castes, creeds, and religions.
