Jagan is late but latest, says RRR

18

YSCP ‘rebel’ Lok Sabha member Raghurama Krishnam Raju has fired at Andhra Pradesh government yet again.

This time he sharpened his attack on Jagan. In a direct diatribe at the Chief Minister, Raju pointed out that 50 per cent of the voters did not want Jagan to be the CM and rejected the YSRCP.

He said by slapping cases against Ramesh Hospitals MD Pothineni Ramesh Babu, the Andhra Pradesh government had insulted the entire medical fraternity who have been working relentlessly in the fight against Covid. He slammed the Andha Pradesh police excess stating that foisiting cases against doctors has brought a disgrace to the entire department..

Raju condemned the atrocities on a Dalit youth, Vara Prasad, in Seethanagaram of East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh whose head was tonsured by the police for opposing sand mafia in his native place.

The YSRCP MP took potshots at Jagan Mohan Reddy rather in his inimitable style using Telugu movie dialogues.

On Jagan’s reaction to the Dalit tonsure incident, Raju took a jibe at the CM “late ga ayina latest ga spandincharu” (even if the CM’s reaction was late, it was latest) taking cue from a movie dialogue. Raju said the late reaction from the CM came after the President of India himself took a note of the Dalit tonsure incident. “The reaction from the CM came after the Rashtrapati office pulled up the government thrice,” Raju noted.

Raju has often used movie dailogues to sharpen his sarcasm and wit filled remarks to fire at his opponents.

Earlier, Raju had used Rajanikant’s popular dialogue (Nanna pandule gumpuga vastayi simham Single ga vastundi — pigs come in herd , but a lion walks in solo) to hit out at his political critics.

Raju, who had not been seeing eye-to-eye with the Andhra Pradesh government over its policies. Earlier in a tongue-in-cheek comment, Raju said Jagan has more fan base than actor Chiranjeevi and that people will strictly follow if he makes an appeal to wear a face mask. “Jagan has more fans than Chiranjeevi. Hence, I appeal to the Chief Minister to start an innovative programme to bring awareness among the people. The programme should be a big hit like Chiranjeevi’s movies,” he stated rather sarcastically.

  2. Mr. Raghuramakrishna Raju stop garbage. If you are a real stateman, he should resign from the MP and you can make any type of garbage statements. You won the MP from the B-pharm of YSRCP and not on TDP/BJP B-pharm. Morning to evening just release your garbage as dictated by Yellow media/Babu and talk the same in the yellow media. Judiciary can tell many things but that jufgments are bench specific. Take the case of SEC, Supreme Court Chief Justice in the arguments, though post-poning the elections comes under his purview but at the same time extending the election code show bias towards the government. Yet bench delivered in favour of him. Why? Is it correct? Same is your case — government asked the speaker to cancel your MP and other committee memberships. But neither the speaker nor you resigned from those posts. Why? to get money as salary or perks and police protection. You said you can resign and get thrice the majority. Then why not show your popularity.

    • why has AP revenue fallen after jagan became CM and debt has risen ! (even before corona)
      why there is zero progress in projects?
      why is sand price double than previous govt?
      why not even a single company is coming to AP?
      why all nominated posts(80 to 90%) are given to only community ?
      why cannot he give a press conference even during corona time only recorded videos are released?
      YSRCP corruption is much bigger than TDP.
      As per your logic why is Vamshi vallabhaneni not resigning?

      • Rxr2066 – good questions, positive discussion, thanks: here are my observations on your queries:

        1. Why has AP revenue fallen after jagan became CM and debt has risen!
        (even before corona):
        Answer: Chandrababu raised the debt to nearly two lakh cores during his tenure as CM during 2014-19. The present government is paying the interests on such dud debts. Also, this government is paying what Chandrababu did not pay relating to vote bank & real estate politics running in to thousands of crores such as loan waiver [Jagan did not made any such promise to farmers to get votes], Though Chandrababu government could have stayed in Hyderabad and started building the capital but he forcefully acquired fertile agriculture lands from farmers or binami farmers (such tactics we have seen in Shamshabad airport) and made agreements running in to thousands of crores of recurring expenses to exchequer. Same type of white elephant was created by Chandrababu with gas based power plants during his earlier CM gaddi. Thousands of crores were paid to those power plants that includes Lagadapati power plant without power. After Dr. YSR took over as CM in 2004, negotiated with those power plants saved those thousands of crores. Chandrababu did not do any such or used his closeness with RIL group and got the gas to those power plants. Now the payment to farmers is another white elephant to the present government. The present government must stop such payments. Such foolish programmes and wasteful expenditures are plenty—-!!! In 14 months, around 6 months are under carona. Yet he generated lakhs of jobs. This is additional burden —-, etc.

        Let me present a simple logic: take the case of environmental impact assessment – it will have direct impact & indirect impacts that may be additive or multiplicative. Chandrababu never cared for direct impact or indirect impact but look for amassing wealth only. This is what he did in the case of Shamshabad Airport, Outer Ring Road Phase-I, High Tech City in Hyderabad and Pharma City in Visakhapatnam/Parwada. He did the same during 2014-19 – land acquisition for thousands of acres under different programmes.

        2. Why there is zero progress in projects?

        Answer: This is TDP/Chandrababu argument. You go around the irrigation projects, see by yourself.

        Dr. S. Jeevananda Reddy

        • let me prove your argument wrong with numbers as numbers don’t lie.
          TDP in 5 years took loan of 1.5 lakh crore of 30,000 cr per year and increased the revenue from 50,000 cr to 1.2 lakhs crores per year. AP had double digit growth rate(11%) in all the 5 years of CBN more than national average of 7%
          where as ysrcp took loan 90,000 crore per year and revenue got reduced to 1.1 lakh crore.
          In ysrcp rule we have negative growth rate of -5% where as naatinal growth is 2% all before corona.
          your argument is only opinion and is not based on facts

          • It is not an opinion but it is a fact. Chandrababu luxurious spent money on special plane and visits to foreign countries with zero benefit — he claims a huge gain but on ground zero. Growth rate depends up on mostly agriculture sector and IT sector. Now YSRCP is improving the quality of life in terms of education and health care. These can be seen on ground realities.

          • your are arguments are hallow and not factual I gave numbers which are verifiable.
            unable to counter you are changing direction of discussion
            your arguments have only opinions which inclined to party you like ysrcp. Ground reality what i see is very different . right now no hospital in my town are accepting aryogya sri as they didn’t receive payments from past 5 months.
            every body has there own right to opinion

          • These are all loose statements only. The present government is improving the network. Do you think it is achieved in few months? What about Ramesh hospital in Vijayawada? Did he get government arogyasree funds or not???

            sjreddy

          • the argument here is the previous govt did development far better than current govt and i conclusively proved it with numbers.
            arguments with out numbers will never end.
            ramesh hosipital or other hospitals it is the same, govt is not controlling the loot due to covid . most of hospitals are charging up to 40,000 per day and are allowing patients only after they deposit 2 to 3 lakhs. even after multiple complaints by insurance companies no actions is taken!

      • 3. Why is sand price double than previous govt?

        Answer: During Chandrababu regime [2014-2019] sand mining, granite mining, sandstone mining, etc. illegal activity by TDP leaders is rampant. Here instead of government TDP politicians gained thousands of crores. With these illegal activities, sand was available plenty in the market and destroyed the nature [against environmental Acts]. He did not pursue the alternate to sand – rock sand. The present government controlled the illegal activity and protected the nature. Naturally prices go up with profit going in to government kitty unlike Chandrababu regime.

        4. Why not even a single company is coming to AP?

        Answer: This is TDP/Chandrababu’s false propaganda. You ask the concerned ministers under right to information, you get details.

        5. Why all nominated posts (80 to 90%) are given to only community?

        Answer: This is TDP/Chandrababu’s propaganda. You get the information under right to information act and divide them under caste-wise, region-wise, and religion-wise. In the cabinet you find the balance clearly. You just see all those who were fighting against government are from Chandrababu’s caste and creating hurdles in the forward movement of the government. You just go back during 2014-19, how Chandrababu used police; revenue departments [IAS, IPS] in bulldozing the elected from other parties were forced to join TDP.

        You look at around 5 lakh jobs provided by the government and see the share of all communities, you get what you said is not true.

        6. Why cannot he give a press conference even during corona time only?
        recorded videos are released?

        Answer: It is not an important issue. He is spending more time with individual departments and assessing the pros-cons to correct them. Is it not good idea?

        Let me give my own experience: I haven’t met Dr. Manmohan Singh or Smt. Sonia Gandhi but I submitted my view points and got implemented. By now the government gained more than a lakh crores [more than a year back, Narendra Modi presented that the government saved around 50, 000 crores in subsidies]. Same way I haven’t met Dr. Y. S. Rajashekar Reddy after he became CM in 2004 [except on one occasion participated at Mr. CM programme organized by TV9 on urban areas as an environmentalist] but he implanted my suggestions that helped the reduced the black money role in real estate without harming the government income.

        Dr. S. Jeevananda Reddy

        • 3) TDP did corruption in sand mining but ysrcp is even doing bigger corruption as sand is not available and construction industry and associated business suffered. bottom line verifiable fact
          is end customer got a better price and construction flourished during TDP rule.
          your view points is wrong by facts available.

      • 6. YSRCP corruption is much bigger than TDP.

        Answer: You are wrong. You just tell the cases but I can tell you about TDP. I even met CBI on this. They heard for nearly four hours and took copies and said we are sorry. At that time CBI & AP High Court was full of TDP people. An article by a western published in the media. They computed the growth of richness among Reddys, Kammas & Kapus. At the start of AP state Reddys were in the top and followed Kammas, Kapus. In 2019, Kammas take over the top position, followed Kapus, Reddys.

        On corruption if you have information send it to Jagan and see his response. In fact I myself wrote several mails my view points on his policies, including irrigation. I wrote an open letter on KCR government’s budget. RK published in Andhra Jyothy under his name; without mentioning my name or acknowledging.

        7. As per your logic why is Vamshi vallabhaneni not resigning?

        Answer: Vamshi Vallabhaneni is not holding any profit making post in TDP or YSRCP. He is only a MLA. Raghurama Krishnam Raju holds several parliamentary committee posts as MP from YSRCP and not independent. Let him resign for those posts – he won’t do it basically because he will lose the monitory benefits running in to cores and several other benefits.
