YS Jagan set out on his historic mass contact initiative from Idupulapaya in Dr. YSR district on November 6, 2017. A day before he undertook the Padayatra, he tweeted the first day's schedule and sought people's blessings:

On December 16, 2017, amidst thunderous applause, the Padayatra reached the 500 km mark:
The 500 km mark. I am more motivated than ever to continue this journey of mine across AP, meeting each & every one of you. I am walking amid broken hopes, broken trust & broken promises. I feel the pain, the anger. Every step strengthens my resolve. Every step is a rededication. — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) December 16, 2017
On January 29, 2018, the Padayatra went past the milestone of 1000 km:
The 1000kms mark. Each step I take makes me aware of your affection and support. I have seen the love & respect for Dr.YSR, and felt your pain, anger and distrust towards the current Govt. Your blessings strengthen my resolve to continue with #PrajaSankalpaYatra pic.twitter.com/msYkDomvRo — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) January 29, 2018
The Padayatra completed its first 100 days on February 28, 2018:
Completed 100 days of Padayatra today. Each day I have received your unparalleled support and warmth. Each day we have together walked for a better Andhra Pradesh. With each passing day of the #PrajaSankalpaYatra, I am more determined than ever to restore our Rajanna's Rajyam. — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) February 28, 2018
When MPs of the YSR Congress party moved a No Confidence Motion against the Centre, YS Jagan tweeted to articulate the party's stand:
YSR Congress Party moves the No Confidence Motion against the Central Government. For the rights of the people of Andhra Pradesh, we will continue our fight for the Special Category Status. pic.twitter.com/EypdpDCRsI — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) March 15, 2018
The YSRCP chief posted several tweets on Special Category Status to the state. Here's his tweet stressing upon the importance of Special Category Status to AP:
SCS is our right! If not granted, YSRCP MPs will resign the day Parliament is adjourned sine die & go on an indefinite hunger strike at AP Bhawan,New Delhi. In the interest of AP&for future of our youth @ncbn make TDP MPs resign as well. YSRCP will continue its fight for SCS(2/2) — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) April 2, 2018
The Padayatra completed 2000 km on May 14, the day Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy was sworn in as CM, as YS Jagan recalled:
On 14th May,2004,every citizen of AP was jubilant,as Rajanna took oath as AP’s CM. His vision & welfare policies ameliorated the lives of all. As I complete 2000kms of #PrajaSankalpaYatra,on the very same day,this year, I vow to bring back your smiles & restore Rajanna's Rajyam! — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) May 14, 2018
It became clear to the YSRCP chief from his day-to-day interaction with the masses that people were vexed with the TDP government, as this tweet suggests:
Betrayal on SCS — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) June 8, 2018
No jobs for youth
No farm & SHG loan waiver
Arogyasri diluted
Fee reimbursement neglected
No houses for poor
No relief on fuel prices
Rampant corruption
Unkept promises
Neglected Welfare
Only self promotion
4yrs of @ncbn’s Govt is a disaster. AP demands change!
Kadapa Steel plant is a historic necessity. YS Jagan posted this tweet on the subject:
Kadapa Steel Plant is AP’s rightful aspiration.Centre's affidavit against the plant questions its sincerity towards AP's welfare. TDP, having knowledge of this all the while, raising concern only now, is sheer betrayal. YSRCP demands categorical assurance from Centre on the plant — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) June 14, 2018
YS Jagan expressed his shock and indignation at the treatment meted out to members of the Nayee Brahmin community by Chandrababu Naidu:

On June 26, 2018, the Padayatra completed 200 days:
Hope, of a better tomorrow. This is what I've seen on people's faces, since Day 1. As I complete 200 days of #PrajaSankalpYatra, I express my gratitude to the people of AP for their faith in me. — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) June 27, 2018
I'm determined to restore Rajanna's Rajyam & bring back the smiles on your faces!
The Padayatra went past the milestone of 2500 km on July 7, Dr.YS Rajasekhara Reddy's birth anniversary:
The 2500KM milestone falling on YSR garu's birthday is not a mere coincidence. It shows that this #PrajaSankalpaYatra is blessed not only by the people of AP, but also YSR himself from the heaven above! Happy birthday, nanna. Thank you for always being with us. — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) July 8, 2018
YS Jagan articulated his anger and anguish at the treatment meted out to members of the Muslim community who protested peacefully at AP chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu's meeting with the community in Guntur:
— YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) August 30, 2018
YS Jagan sought his departed father's blessings on the occasion of the late Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy's 'vardhanthi':
Remembering nanna on his vardanthi. His ideals have been a guiding light and have carved a path for me, that I promise to dedicate my life to pursue. #YSRVardhanthi pic.twitter.com/RAuhjFjlmm — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) September 2, 2018
