While Chandrababu Naidu today launched TDP’s mass contact program Janachaitanya Yatra from Vemur, Guntur district, meant to create awareness among the people about the achievements of government, the opposition released a questionnaire with 100 question on Naidu’s alleged failures. The Opposition party asked the people of the villages where Janachaitanya Yatras is conducted to pose these question to the ruling party and extract answers. The party said Naidu would not get pass marks in the test.
Naidu, this morning launched the program in a colorful function organized at Vemur. The CM reached the venue of the program by riding a Bullet and enthused the party workers. Addressing a public meeting, Naidu listed out the program his government launched despite severe financial constraints. He said how the TDP government was ensuring the old-age pension of Rs 1000 a month reaches every household on the first of every month. He said he was fulfilling this assurance like the elder son the family.
In the past 17 months the opposition parties in the state have run fierce campaign against the state government on many issues- from Amaravati land acquisition to Naidu’s failure to get the special status accorded to the state. Now, the CM wants his party knock at every door in the state and counter the charges leveled by the YSRC , Congress and Left parties.
The purpose of the Janachaitanya yatra is to counter the propaganda of opposition parties and explain the people about the programs the government initiated and the benefit accrued to them since TDP formed government in June 2014. The 14-day program is also meant to elicit the people’s opinion on various social welfare schemes launched by the TDP government.
On the other side, YSR Congress asked the people to collect the answers to the questions printed on the Praja Ballot from the TDP leaders who visit their villages. It also asked the people give marks to the TDP government based on their experience in the past 17 months. The question paper has provided answer boxes for yes or no against the assurance given to the people during elections. The party asked the people to assess pass of failure of chief minister Naidu. Not one assurance mentioned in the manifesto of the TDP had been implemented, the party said and added that the CM was bound to fail in the test. Meanwhile In the Karra Agraharam village near Machilipatnam, the programs of TDP and YSRC led to a clash.
