Coming down heavily on the State Government, Nara Bhuvaneswari, the wife of the former chief minister and TDP national president Chandrababu Naidu, on Wednesday expressed surprise whether any administration exists in the State.
“Except violent politics, atrocities and free sale of ganja there is no development in the State,” Bhuvaneswari said at Agarala while addressing a public meeting during her ‘Nijam Gelavali’ (truth should prevail’ programme on the opening day on Wednesday. Making a fervent appeal to the people to excuse her if there are any mistakes in her speech as she is addressing her maiden public meeting, Bhuvaneswari asked the public to understand what exactly is inside her since she has come into the open for the first time.
“I did not come here to talk politics nor do politics. My fight is that truth should prevail, for the future of our children, our State and for our future,” she said. Stating that Chandrababu Naidu has taken the State and the party forward on a disciplined manner, Bhuvaneswari fondly recalled that Chandrababu has set up the NTR Trust on a call given by her father, the late NT Rama Rao, who always believed that people are his gods and society is a temple.
“I am now heading this trust which is serving the people by conducting medical camps and blood camps besides assisting over 3,000 orphan children in their education,” she said. Pointing out that when Tirupati faced floods she extended a financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh each to 49 families, Bhuvaneswari said that the people know better than her about Chandrababu.
Throughout his life he struggled for the welfare and prosperity of the common man while top priority is given to the TDP activists, she said. “He has built the HiTech city with a vision and when I have asked him why this HighTech city is being built in a deserted place he asked me to just wait for sometime and see how the city will be developed,” Bhuvaneswari said.
Chadrababu always feels that if the youth gets good employment the State will march on the progressive path and such a leader has been confined to the Rajamahendravaram Central Jail for the past 47 days, she said with a tone of misery. Not even a single evidence is available either in the Skill Development project case, or in the Inner Ring Road or Fibernet cases but still cases have been registered against him, she said.
In the Skill Development case it was initially claimed Rs 3,000 cr corruption which was later brought down to Rs 370 and is now to Rs 27 cr, Bhuvaneswari said and asked is there any meaning in the cases that are foisted against Chandrababu. Except registering case after case, is there any evidence on money trail in the case, she asked.
Observing that her husband used to sleep only for three hours a day as he always was focussing on how to develop the State after bifurcation, Bhuvaneswari said that he never even bothered about his own health. Such a leader is now jailed, she said and stated that when the people came onto the roads to strongly protest against his arrest they too have been harassed.
Expressing confidence that Chandrababu will certainly come out safe soon, Bhuvaneswari said that this Government is simply dar-dreaming that if Chandrababu is confined to jail the TDP will get totally disturbed both physically and mentally. “Chandrababu has a very strong personality and he has faced several such issues in his 45-year-long political career,” she said.
Chandrababu will soon come before the people, Bhuvaneswari said and called upon the people to join her to fight for justice. “Let us fight for freedom and let us fight for Chandrababu. Truth and only truth should prevail,” Bhuvaneswari added.
