Naidu dubs Jagan as R’Seema traitor

Terming Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, as the traitor of Rayalaseema, TDP president and former chief minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, said that Jagan is the chief of thugs.

Addressing a largely attended Praja Galam public meeting at Railway Koduru in Annamayya district, Chandrababu Naidu held Jagan responsible for the deaths in the washing away of Annamayya project gates. What did Jagan achieve in these five years except rising prices heavily and imposing various taxes on the people to squeeze them, he asked.

Abandoning the Handri-Neeva, Galeru-Nagari projects in the lurch, Jagan simply cheated the people in this region, Chandrababu remarked. This psycho plays some drama or the other when the elections are round the corner, the TDP supremo said and added that now he is again coming before the people with a drama of sympathy.

Demanding proper reply from Jagan for the questions being raised by his own sisters, Dr Sunitha and Sharmila, on the murder of his own paternal uncle, YS VIvekananda Reddy, Chandrababu said that this Chief Minister is blindly defending the murderer and is trying to convert his domestic issue as a State-level serious problem.

Chandrababu Naidu promised to encourage horticulture by reviving the subsidies and said that food processing units will be set up across the State. The former chief minister also assured the people to review the reorganisation of districts in accordance with the wishes of the common man.

Elated at the massive turnout for his Praja Galam, Chandrababu felt that this clearly indicates the crushing of Jagan by the voters in these elections. Pointing out that he and the BJP candidate from Rajampet, Kiran Kumar Reddy, too were the chief ministers of the State, Chandrababu asked whether they had ever moved behind curtains like how Jagan is moving amidst public now.

Probably Andhra Pradesh had created a record of sorts with the largest number of revision of power tariff during Jagan’s rule, he said and stated that the prices of all the commodities are the highest in the State. Jagan is now making every effort to purchase votes with the money that he had looted through sand and mining mafia, he said.

Chandrababu Naidu promised to bring to book the red sanders smugglers immediately after coming back to power and also check the sand mafia activities in the region. The former chief minister promised to complete all the pending projects in the region.

Dalit community revolting against Jagan, says Naidu

The entire Dalit community in the State has been revolting against Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, since he has polluted politics, said the TDP president and former chief minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu.

Mentioning about the recent incident in which a small piece of stone was hurled at Jagan during his road-show, Chandrababu remarked that if a small piece of stone is hurled at Jagan it is an attempt to murder and if stones are pelted at him and other TDP leaders it is freedom of expression. “This psycho Jagan calls them as my Dalits but has literally massacred the community,” Chandrababu said while addressing a huge public gathering during the Praja Galam.

Promising to provide two cents of land for every poor family immediately after coming back to power, Chandrababu Naidu assured those belonging to the below middle-class and the middle-class families to build houses too on this land. The TDP supremo said that every household got some benefit or the other creating assets in each family when he was the chief minister but after Jagan came to power assets were created only on his house.

Sri City is the best example that if water is provided wealth can be increased, Chandrababu proudly said that when 600 acres of land was provided for Kia car manufacturing company it has produced 12 lakh cars. This is called wealth creation, he added. Clarifying to the people that the alliance is formed with the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP with the sole responsibility of saving and developing the State, Chandrababu Naidu made an appeal to the people not to repeat the mistake of 2019.

“When a simple mistake was made in 2019 the State is completely pushed into doldrums. My sincere appeal to you all is that please do not repeat it,” Chandrababu said. Before going to the polling station to exercise the franchise, please think about the future of the children, Chandrababu said.

Mr Jagan is feeling shaky after feeling the revolt in the people, particularly among the Dalit community, Chandrababu made an appeal to the people to vote for the NDA candidates for the Lok Sabha and the Assembly. “I will take the responsibility personally to develop the State and provide all facilities to you,” the TDP supremo maintained.

Stone Attack Incident: Failed to Evoke Sympathy for YSRCP?

Stone Attack Incident: Failed to Evoke Sympathy for YSRCP?

The Incident:

A stone hurled at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy during a campaign rally in Vijayawada has sparked a wave of responses and speculations. The stone left a small injury on his left temple, igniting debates about the true nature of the incident.

Divergent Responses:

Pro-YSRCP media swiftly labeled the incident as an attempted murder on Jagan, with sympathizers expressing outrage and shedding tears on camera. The narrative pushed by pro-YSRCP media pointed fingers at the opposition TDP, alleging a conspiracy behind the attack.

Conversely, other media outlets, including those critical of the ruling party, portrayed the incident as a tactical move orchestrated by Jagan and his I-PAC team to garner sympathy ahead of the elections. Opposition leaders, Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan, echoed this sentiment, questioning the authenticity of the incident and attributing it to political strategy.

Local Reaction and Skepticism:

The local populace in Vijayawada displayed a mixed response to the incident, with some downplaying its significance, citing Jagan’s continuation of campaigning immediately afterward. Others expressed skepticism, drawing parallels to a similar attack on Jagan in 2019, the truth of which remained elusive despite his five-year tenure in power.

Even outside Vijayawada, the response among general public is similar. People who are already supporters of YSRCP are sympathizing with Jagan and the people who are not supporters of Jagan are commenting that it is a ploy by Jagan. But rest of the people, who are neutral, almost ignored the incident.

Social Media Fallout:

As expected, social media became a battleground for memes and trolls, with netizens creating humorous content that further diluted the impact of the incident. The proliferation of such content contributed to the diminishing resonance of the stone attack among the public.

Sympathy Erosion and Political Fallout:

Contrary to expectations, the stone attack incident failed to evoke the anticipated sympathy wave for Jagan. Some analysts even argue that it may have inadvertently generated negative sentiment towards the ruling party. Despite efforts by pro-YSRCP media to amplify the incident, public response remains lukewarm, indicating its limited impact on the upcoming elections.

Whether a genuine threat or a strategic ploy, the stone attack incident on Jagan Mohan Reddy has failed to sway public sentiment significantly. In the midst of conflicting narratives and skepticism, the incident’s potential to influence electoral outcomes appears to be minimal. As the political equations are changing quickly, the true implications of this incident remain uncertain, leaving room for continued speculation and analysis.

Jagan’s Regime is Turning AP into Zero, says YS Sharmila

Jagan’s Regime is Turning AP into Zero, says YS Sharmila

President of Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee, YS Sharmila, launched scathing criticism against the incumbent Chief Minister, Jaganmohan Reddy, accusing him of orchestrating the state’s descent into zero development. During her campaign, Sharmila urged voters to prioritize the Congress party in the upcoming elections, regardless of inducements offered by other political entities.

Unfulfilled Promises and Betrayal:

Sharmila lambasted Jaganmohan Reddy for his failure to fulfill numerous promises made during his tenure as the opposition leader. Despite garnering substantial parliamentary representation, the state government’s inability to secure special status has led to a stagnation of industrial growth and widespread unemployment. She accused Jagan of duping job-seeking individuals with empty pledges, highlighting his delayed and insufficient action in addressing the employment crisis. Whenever Sharmila spoke about unemployment in her rallies, she is getting more support from the youngsters.

Sharmila decried the dismal state of agriculture under Jagan’s governance, lamenting the absence of debt-free farmers and the inadequate support provided to agricultural sectors. She highlighted the sharp decline in the availability of essential commodities through ration shops, attributing it to the administration’s flawed policies. Moreover, she criticized the government’s economic measures, alleging a pattern of price hikes and insufficient welfare provisions.

Bold Comments on Jagan’s Secret alliance with some BJP leaders:

Furthermore, Sharmila condemned Jagan’s clandestine alliance with the BJP, contrasting it with Chandrababu Naidu’s transparent approach. She emphasized that sustainable state development can only be achieved under Congress’s leadership, pledging to grant special status for a decade upon assuming power. Additionally, she promised substantial financial assistance to impoverished women and the creation of durable housing units.

In contrast, Sharmila projected the Congress party as the harbinger of positive change, advocating for the victory of its candidates. She underscored the party’s commitment to inclusive development and pro-people policies, promising a comprehensive overhaul of the state’s socioeconomic landscape.

As YS Sharmila’s campaign gains momentum, her critique of Jaganmohan Reddy’s governance offers a stark portrayal of the challenges faced by Andhra Pradesh under his leadership. By highlighting unfulfilled promises, economic strain, and agricultural neglect, Sharmila presents the Congress party as a viable alternative dedicated to restoring the state’s prosperity and welfare. Even though there is no possibility of the Congress party coming into power in the state of AP, Sharmila’s efforts may improve the vote percentage for the party this time.

Jagan’s Manifesto Dilemma: A Closer Look

Jagan’s Manifesto Dilemma: A Closer Look

As the 2024 elections draw nearer, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is yet to unveil his party’s manifesto. This delay stands in stark contrast to the pivotal role his manifesto played in securing victory during the 2019 elections. Despite assurances that 99% of the promises made in 2019 have been fulfilled, the absence of a new manifesto raises questions about the direction of Jagan’s campaign.

TDP-JSP Alliance’s “Super Six” Assurances:

In contrast, the TDP-Jana Sena Party (JSP) alliance has wasted no time in outlining their “super six” assurances, with a heavy emphasis on welfare schemes. This strategic move aims to allay the concerns of beneficiaries of YSRCP schemes while promising broader coverage under their administration. This departure from Chandrababu Naidu’s administration-focused approach signals a shift in strategy for the opposition alliance.

Jagan’s Response to Opposition Promises:

In response to the opposition’s Super Six promises, Jagan expressed skepticism, citing the significant financial burden such schemes would impose on the state. He stated, while speaking at an election rally, that approximately 1.4 lakh crore rupees are required per year to implement these schemes. He questioned the feasibility of allocating funds to cover these schemes, particularly after the state’s financial struggles post-bifurcation.

YSRCP’s Manifesto Confusion:

Jagan’s apparent hesitancy to release his party’s manifesto stems from a complex confluence of factors. On one hand, the opposition’s focus on welfare schemes necessitates a robust response from the ruling party, potentially requiring costlier and sensational initiatives. However, Jagan has already dismissed the feasibility of such schemes due to financial constraints.

Pressure for New Initiatives:

Amid growing anti-incumbency sentiments, there are rumors of pressure on Jagan to announce significant measures, such as loan waivers for farmers and women’s self-help groups. However, Jagan’s previous opposition to such schemes, especially during 2019, coupled with the challenge of justifying the expenditure, adds to his dilemma.

Manifesto Impact on Election Dynamics:

While opposition parties are seizing the initiative with their proactive manifesto announcements, Jagan’s indecision risks leaving his campaign in limbo. However, it’s essential to note that many voters in India are swayed by broader issues like emotion and general governance, rather than specific promises outlined in manifestos. Some of the voters do not even go through the manifestos of the political parties.

As the election campaign intensifies, Jagan must balance addressing voter expectations, managing financial constraints, and countering opposition strategies. The delay in the manifesto release underscores the confusion Jagan is currently facing. Further delay in the release of the manifesto may send wrong signals to the people of Andhra Pradesh and further hamper Jagan’s prospects.

Jagan destroyed irrigation projects in North Andhra, says Naidu

Jagan destroyed irrigation projects in North Andhra, says Naidu

Thanking the people of the State profusely for solidly standing by his family when he was in trouble, TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Monday said this public tsunami clearly reflects the fact that the victory in these elections is that of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Addressing a largely attended public meeting at Rajam in Vizianagaram district during the Praja Galam, Chandrababu Naidu said that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, has totally debilitated the irrigation projects in North Andhra. The TDP during its regime has spent Rs 1600 cr on these projects while Jagan has spent a mere Rs 594 cr in these five years on these projects, he said.

Stating that Jagan always shamelessly utters lies and commits only crime, Chandrababu Naidu asked the people why the YSRCP leaders, Vijayasai Reddy and YV Subba Reddy are ruling the roost in North Andhra. Mentioning Saturday’s incident in which a stone was pelted at Jagan, the TDP supremo felt that in the name of stone-pelting Jagan is playing a high drama. This Chief Minister is a master in blaming others for the crime committed by him, he remarked.

Observing that had he continued in power the Bhogapuram airport would have been completed by now, Chandrababu Naidu promised that the companies that are closed now will be reopened to provide employment to the local youth once the TDP allied NDA forms the coming government in these elections. On observing the resounding response from the public, the TDP supremo is
confident that it is the NDA that is coming to power in these polls.

People are voluntarily attending the Praja Galam meetings while the paid labourers are attending the meetings being addressed by Jagan, he said, adding that Jagan is spending a whopping Rs 25 cr for every meeting that he is addressing now. This Chief Minister has been paying hundreds of crores of rupees to the advisors and had this amount been spent for the irrigation projects in North Andhra the people in the region would not have faced any kind of water problems, Chandrababu Naidu said.

Holding Jagan squarely responsible for not completing the Bhogapuram airport, Chandrababu said that while several industries were set up in North Andhra during the TDP regime, Jagan has turned this region as a ganja hub. What is the fate of Girijan University now, he asked and felt that if all the projects that were taken up during the TDP regime had been completed the region would have developed much better than Hyderabad.

Jagan has affection only towards the lands in Visakhapatnam but not on the people, he said, adding that even the welfare schemes for Backward Classes (BCs) that were implemented during the TDP rule have been withdrawn by this Chief Minister. Women too are the sufferers as the prices of all the commodities are skyrocketing now, Mr Chandrababu said.

Assuring the people that he will personally take the responsibility to promote the youth as leaders, Chandrababu Naidu said that false cases were foisted against all the innocent people by this Government. “I will be the driver for the State as you all know that I have taken the State on progressive path as chief minister for 14 years. Now my goal is to rescue the State from this predicament and take it much forward and thus entered into an alliance with the NDA,” he added.

Chandrababu Naidu promised to complete all the pending projects in North Andhra region, including the Palakonda road, outer ring road for Rajam and Thotapalli project canals.

Jagan imported ganja to AP, says Naidu

“As the then chief minister of the State I have invited investments to the State from various foreign countries, Jagan Mohan Reddy, after becoming the Chief Minister of the State, has successfully brought in ganja and other drugs from abroad,” remarked TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Sunday.

Jagan has totally swept away the North Andhra and encroached upon all the hilly areas, Chandrababu Naidu told a sea of humanity at Payakaraopeta in Anakapalli district during his Praja Galam. The TDP has the credit of promoting the port city of Visakhapatnam as IT and economic capital while Jagan has turned into a centre for settlements and land encroachments, the TDP supremo said.

Chandrababu Naidu said that Jagan started feeling shaky after the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP have come together forming an alliance and promised to develop the State with a double-engine government. He expressed confidence that there is a change in the mood of the people and the tremendous response from the Dalit community here is a clear indication of this.

“If the soul of Dr Sudhakar, a medical doctor who was killed branding him as mad, be peaceful the YSRCP should be completely routed in these elections,” Chandrababu said and stated that the Constitution framed by Dr BR Ambedkar is certainly a fantastic document but Jagan, who is in the position to implement it in the State is the most unfit person. The most prestigious Bharat Ratna was awarded to Dr Ambedkar when the TDP founder, the late NT Rama Rao, was the chairman of the National Front, Chandrababu Naidu fondly recalled.

When all the three parties, the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP, have come together, is there any chance for the existence of any other party, Chandrababu Naidu asked and said that the construction workers are now ready to bury the YSRCP. On the one hand Jagan is distributing Rs 10 to the beneficiaries of various welfare schemes and looting Rs 100 from everyone by increasing the prices of all commodities so steeply, the TDP supremo remarked.

Did Jagan provide employment even to a single person, he asked and said that this Chief Minister did not fulfil even a single promise made to the people, including the youth like issuing job calendar and Mega DSC. “If the youth want to get jobs, Babu should be back and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) should come to power,” Chandrababu Naidu said.

Stating that he will personally take the responsibility to provide jobs to the youth, the TDP supremo called upon the people to elect the Jana Sena and the BJP candidates besides the TDP candidates for the progress of the State. The alliance will take every measure to construct houses for the poor besides supplying sand free of cost, he said.

Chandrababu Naidu also promised to promote local leaders for the development of this area and also put an end to the sand, land and mining mafia. The Super-Six schemes coupled with the welfare programmes announced by the Centre will certainly help the people to prosper well, he added.

Chandrababu Naidu made a fervent appeal to the people to vote for the BJP candidate for the Lok Sabha seat, CM Ramesh, and Vangalapudi Anitha, for the Assembly segment with very high majority for the development of the State.

TDP sees police failure behind attack on Jagan

TDP sees police failure behind attack on Jagan

Strongly condemning the stone-pelting at Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, during his poll campaign on Saturday, the TDP on Sunday demanded the immediate shifting of the Incharge Director General of Police (DGP), KV Rajendrananth Reddy, along with the DGP (Intelligence), PSR Anjaneyulu and the Vijayawada Police Commissioner, Kranthi Rana Tata, as the incident took place due to their failure.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), the TDP senior leader and member of Rajya Sabha, Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar felt that the stone-pelting on the Chief Minister is due to the failure of the police. Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar also demanded that those responsible for the attack be brought to book immediately.

Giving reference of the representations made by the TDP supremo and former chief minister, Chandrababu Naidu, earlier to the Election Commission of India (ECI) on August 28 last year, on March 16 this year to the ECI and the CEC and the representation submitted by Chandrababu Naidu along with Jana Sena chief, Pawan Kalyan, on January 9 this year, the Rajya Sabha member said that it is very sad that the security for a top leader like the Chief Minister, has miserably failed where the senior most IPS officers like the DGP, the DGP (Intelligence) and others are stationed.

Ravindra Kumar mentioned in the letter that the police department has lost its professionalism and conduct as established through a series of episodes of failure in the past five years. Attacks on TDP leaders at several places were handled with bias and the culprits were let off. Pointing out that the then DGP has justified the stone-pelting at the convoy of Chandrababu Naidu in Amaravathi as a democratic right of dissent, the TDP MP said that the attack on the TDP office at Mangalagiri was handled so irresponsibly that the police did not take into custody even a single person responsible for this.

This apart, in Angallu and Kuppam the police personnel had remained as mute spectators when stones were pelted at Chandrababu Naidu in the full glare of the media, he said. Also, in Yerragondapalem in Prakasam district Chandrababu Naidu was attacked by none other than a Minister in the State Cabinet, Kanakamedala pointed out. Besides, the police miserably failed in making proper security arrangements for Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s election rally at Chilakaluripet on March 17 and no action has been taken yet to probe these lapses and fix the responsibility on those concerned, the TDP MP stated.

Against this backdrop, Kanakamedala said that it is really shocking that much before any preliminary inquiry conducted into the attack on the Chief Minister, the advisor to the Government, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, has made attempts to directly malign the TDP and Chandrababu Naidu He felt that it is a travesty of self-cheating by the YSRCP.

Stating that the entire police setup is in the clutches of the Chief Minister, Kanakamedala said that the officers of the choice of the Chief Minister are given focal postings thus reducing the law-enforcing agencies into spineless creatures to act as party functionaries. Some of the Cabinet Ministers are interfering with the police investigation through their statements pointing towards the TDP, he said and suspected that given the past record of the State police some false cases may be foisted against the TDP activists to cover-up their failures.

Kanakamedala opined that as the police officials have already failed in maintenance of the law and order, investigation by the same officials in their own failure may not be impartial to bring the facts to light. Since the responsibility of law and order maintenance during the election period squarely lies with the ECI, Kanakamedala made an appeal to the poll panel to take control of the deteriorating law and order in the State to ensure the poll campaign goes on in a peaceful manner.

Since the DGP, the DGP (Intelligence) and the Vijayawada Police Commissioner have miserably failed in providing proper security arrangements for the Chief Minister and even the Prime Minister as mentioned above how the common man can expect maintenance of proper law and order by the same officials, particularly during the election period, he asked. Hence, Kanakamedala demanded that the Incharge DGP, the DGP (Intelligence) and the Vijayawada Police Commissioner be shifted immediately for protection of law and order.

Kanakamedala also demanded the poll panel to order for an inquiry into Saturday’s incident by an external agency like the CBI or the NIA so that the real culprits can be brought to book in the interest of fairplay and justice.

Attack on Jagan: Security Lapse or Kodikathi 2.0 ?!

Attack on Jagan: Security Lapse or Kodikathi 2.0 ?!

Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy sustained a minor injury during his campaign last night. While the assailant is yet to be identified, the political blame game has already begun. While the ruling YSRCP launched a sharp attack on opposition leader Chandra Babu Naidu and his party TDP & alliance partner Janasena, the opposition leaders too are retorting very sharply accusing the CM of launching a political drama aka Kodikathi 2.0.

The unknown assailant threw a stone at CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy while he was greeting public from atop his campaign bus at Ajith Singh Nagar, NTR district on Saturday night. Despite the attack, CM YS Jagan was seen waving to public before the security officials took him inside the bus and was given first aid to the injury above his left eyebrow. The injury measured about a centimeter. YSRCP MLA Vellampalli Srinivas also sustained an injury in the attack. While the police are still scouring the CCTV footage to get clues on the assailant, it is being speculated that a catapult was used to hit the CM with precision.
CM YS Jagan was immediately shifted to Vijayawada Government hospital where he was treated and his team released a statement that the Siddam yatra will be suspended on Sunday, as the doctors advised a complete bedrest. According to Dr Venakatesh, superintendent of GGH, CM YS Jagan will recover in a couple of days and they put two stitches to the injury.

Security Lapse Being Questioned

While the injury isn’t that grave, what is being questioned is the absolute lapse in the CM’s security. It is protocol to ensure that there is uninterrupted power supply in the surrounding areas of the CM’s public meetings. And even if there is a sudden electric failure, the security has to ensure that there are battery-powered lights around the area to ensure any untoward incident doesn’t happen. But from the videos that have been released since the incident, it looks like the security didn’t take any such measures. They should not have allowed the yatra to go through an area which was devoid of power or alternative source of light. Also, from the videos, it is clear that the security acted really unfazed despite an attack on the CM. There was no immediate cover that was provided to the CM by the security and they even seem to have taken their time to even move the CM into the bus. To everyone’s surprise the security team was seen bending on their knees instead of forming a protective shield around the CM. Clearly, there were no stone guards that have been set up to ensure such events don’t happen, especially after people flung chappals at the CM during his yatra in Anantapur. Also, as per the protocol, when such untoward incidents happen, the CMs security is supposed to shift him immediately to a bulletproof car, which was not followed in this case.

Kodikathi 2.0

While, TDP supremo released a statement condemning the attack and wishing a speedy recovery to YS Jagan, other leaders from his party are not minicing words. Many leaders launched a sharp attack on YS Jagan accusing him of launching Kodikathi 2.0. On 25th October 2019, Jagan was stabbed with a kodikathi (traditional cockfight knife) at the Vishakapatnam Airport. The attacker, J Sriniav Rao later claimed that he a fan of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. Jagan, sustained a bleeding injury to his left shoulder and those images dictated the 2019 election narrative. Back then, the YSRCP called it a murder attempt on Jagan by the TDP as they couldn’t contain the growing popularity and wanted to eliminate him completely. They called it a serious lapse in security as TDP was in power then. While sympathy grew for Jagan after the incident and he went on to become the CM, the assailant, there is zero progress in the case.
Last night too, the YSRCP leadership and the cadre didn’t waste time and jumped straight into dharnas with posters of Chandra Babu Naidu, Lokesh and Pawan Kalyan accusing them of the attack.

Messages Pour-In for Jagan

Prime Minister Narendra tweeted immediately after the incident and wished YS Jagan a speedy recovery. “I pray for the speedy recovery and good health of AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy” (sic). Neighbouring Tamil Nadu state CM Stalin, Telangana BRS working president KTR, former minister Harish Rao and others too took to ‘X’ (twitter) to send in their wishes.

Only Jagan has become rich in these 5 years, says Naidu

In the past five years, only Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, could make a fortune in the State, Chandrababu Naidu, former chief minister and TDP president, remarked.

Jagan has been spending Rs 15 cr every day to mobilise the crowd for his meeting through 1500 buses and from where he is getting such a huge amount, Chandrababu Naidu asked while launching the website tdpforandhra.com. The TDP supremo said that during the upcoming bus yatra in the State, Jagan accompanied by the I-PAC team will go for prepaid human angle.

Paying Rs 99,999 as donation for the TDP through this website, Chandrababu Naidu made an appeal to the people to donate freely for the party making use of the website. He felt that politics should have educated leaders rather than rich and the landlords and the TDP always moved forward with social justice for the ethical persons.

“We have given high priority for the educated to make them MLAs and MPs and the party always strived for value politics,” he said and pointed out that the TDP does not have party offices in some districts till now. The people always think about the State pre-TDP and after the TDP is formed, he said, adding that the party never built palaces on public property.

Making it clear that the TDP will move forward with a close coordination of the national and State-level BJP leaders, Chandrababu Naidu said that the YSRCP is well aware that it is losing power and thus resorted to setting on fire the Heritage papers. The YSRCP has released a fake letter online in his name that the Super-Six is withdrawn, Chandrababu Naidu said and felt that this is the goal of the Paytm and 420 batches of the YSRCP.

The phones of all the people are being tapped and a container carrying some secret matters is going to Tadepalli everyday while the vehicles coming from the Tadepalli palace move in a totally different direction, he remarked. Chandrababu Naidu said that the money earned through illegal means is being distributed outside now and even the land records of the people are being changed utilising the technology. The TDP supremo made it clear that all such illegal activities will be checked once the NDA is into power in these elections.

Jagan promises to restore volunteers’ system after elections

Jagan promises to restore volunteers’ system after elections

Continuing his statewide public outreach Memantha Siddham campaign, chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy reached Palnadu district on the 11th day of the Yatra on Monday where he started his day by holding a close and intimate interaction with the pensioners.

After speaking with the driver’s community in Tirupati, Jagan today held an interaction with old-age, widowers and disabled pension beneficiaries in the Podili area of the Darsi assembly constituency, Palnadu district. The event turned out to be a boon for the pensioners as it opened a channel of communication for them to directly inform Jagan about how the doorstep delivery of pensions has changed their lives.

The crucial interaction came at a time when more than 33 pensioners died last week due to distress caused by an inordinate delay in pension delivery as the beneficiaries toiled to collect their pensions from their Sachivalayams under the scorching hot sun. The delay in pension delivery happened after the opposition parties led by TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu complained to the Election Commission to restrain volunteers from doing doorstep delivery of pensions.

Speaking at the event, 55-year-old Patra Prabhavati from Darsi Village, conveyed her ordeal and expressed the pain she underwent to collect the pensions this month. ‘I have pain in my knees and can’t walk, but for Rs 3000 this month, I had to go from pillar to post. I was told to visit 3 places to collect the money,’ Prabhavati said while interacting directly with the Chief Minister. Furthermore, she went on to insist Jagan bring back the volunteer system after retaining the power in the forthcoming polls. She said, ‘We need a volunteer system, and we need Jagan again. All the ration, pension, and schemes were sent to our doorsteps, our MLA candidate Shiva Prasad used to come door to door to know about our well-being. Even during COVID, all schemes were delivered to our doorsteps. That’s the kind of leader Jagan is a man with a good heart.’

Responding to her request, Jagan again gave his reassurance to the people of the state and stated that his first signature after assuming office in 2024 would be to revive the volunteer system.

Not just the elderly, disabled pensioners present at the venue also expressed their views with the CM, one among them was Narsimha Rao, who said, ‘I want to remind everyone that before 2019, there was a committee called Janmabhoomi Committee which took bribes from disabled people. If we wanted pensions, we had to pay money for it. You lived up to your promise when you hiked the pension money. You also promised to send a volunteer to my doorstep as God’s messenger.’

Taking note of the pensioner’s remarks, Jagan responded by saying, ‘It’s heartening to see the widespread appreciation for the volunteer system. However, Chandrababu, who held the CM position for 14 years, didn’t even consider initiating such a system. His focus seemed to lie elsewhere – in establishing Janmabhoomi Committees, engaging in business dealings through them, and succumbing to corrupt practices. His tenure was marked by discrimination based on party affiliations. In stark contrast, reinstating the volunteer system remains a priority for us. Rest assured, my first signature upon assuming office will be dedicated to this cause.’

Addressing the gathering, Jagan further informed them that the ‘YSRCP govt is spending Rs. 2000 crore per month, which is Rs. 24000 crore per year. In the last five years, we have spent over Rs 90,000 crore on pensions, which is higher than the other states in the country. If we look at other states on their pension expenditure, Bihar is spending Rs 4,300 crore, Uttar Pradesh (Rs 5160 crore), Karnataka (Rs 4700 crore), Telangana (Rs 7,180 crore).’

Why Jagan is silent on Viveka murder, Sharmila asks

AP Congress president Y S Sharmila on Saturday asked chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy why he is silent on the murder of his uncle Y S Vivekananda Reddy. She also questioned Jagan Mohan Reddy for giving ticket to Y S Avinash Reddy who was one of the accused in the Vivekananda Reddy murder.

Speaking to media persons at Kadapa after offering prayers in Dargah, Sharmila said that the CBI had included Avinash Reddy as accused in the murder. The CBI had also tried to arrest Avinash Reddy, she recalled.

She wanted to know why Jagan Mohan Reddy is silent on the murder and supporting the murderers. She said that the chief minister was promoting the accused in the murder. She wanted the CBI and the Central government to take action against those who were involved in the murder of Vivekananda Reddy.

She further alleged that Jagan Mohan Reddy had made several promises to the Muslim community in the last five years. He said that Jagan had promised many things even during the 2019 general election. However, he did not fulfil even a single promise, Sharmila said.

She said that only Congress would do justice to the Muslims and every other community. She wanted the people to support the Congress in the coming general election. She asserted that the Congress had been the symbol of social justice over the years.

She blamed Kadapa MP Y S Avinash Reddy for not raising the issue of the steel plant in Kadapa. She said that the MP did not mention the issue at least once in five years in the Parliament. He remained silent on the issue, which had been a core issue for the people of Kadapa, she said.

She promised to complete the steel plant in Kadapa with the Congress forming the government in Delhi. She said that the Congress is the only party which works for the development of every region. She appealed to the people to support her as the MP candidate in Kadapa Parliament constituency.

Naidu demands Jagan’s resignation taking responsibility for pensioners deaths

TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Friday demanded that Jagan Mohan Reddy shoulder the responsibility for the deaths of the pensioners and opt out as the Chief Minister.

Chandrababu Naidu told media persons at Nallajerla in East Godavari district that for his political benefits Jagan has hatched conspiracies claiming the innocent lives of the pensioners. Jagan has the habit of resorting to cheap politics even on dead bodies, Chandrababu Naidu remarked.

Promising to pay Rs 4,000 monthly pension to every household immediately after coming to power, the former chief minister made it clear that the revised pension will be applicable from the month of April itself and the dues for April, May and June will be paid immediately. “I will be the eldest son of every house and will distribute the pension directly at your doorstep,” Chandrababu Naidu said.

Chandrabau Naidu said that he always thinks about the welfare of society while Jagan has only selfish-ends and stated that Jagan has been claiming innocent lives and taking wild pleasure from it. “We should always seek votes by doing good things for the people but not by resorting to misinformation campaign,” he added.

Maintaining that Jagan had earlier emerged victorious in the polls by killing his own paternal uncle and passing the buck on the TDP, Chandrababu Naidu said that Jagan has utilised even the death of his own father for his political gains. Now, becoming responsible for the death of several innocent pensioners, he is again trying to win these elections, Chandrababu Naidu remarked.

Asking as to why the pensions were not paid on 1st of this month, he felt that with the fear of losing power he borrowed huge amount of money and cleared the Rs 13,000 cr worth of pending bills of the contractors. The Election Commission did not say that the pensions should not be distributed at the doorstep but only ordered that the services of the volunteers should not be utilised for this purpose, Chandrababu Naidu clarified.

Making it clear that the TDP does not oppose the volunteer system, he said the system will be continued by the TDP too after coming to power. Since this Government is not coming back to power, the coming TDP allied NDA government will not take back those volunteers who have already submitted their resignations. The YSRCP Government is using the volunteers for its political advantage and making them fall victims for the selfishness of the ruling party leaders, he stated.

The TDP has the patent rights on the pensions as it was the party founder, the late NT Rama Rao, who introduced the scheme with Rs 30 per month for each beneficiary, Chandrababu Naidu said and added that after he came to power he increased it to Rs 75 while the late Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy as the then chief minister had revised it again in 2004 to Rs 200. “Again when I came back to power in 2014 I increased it to Rs 1,000 and again revised it to Rs 2,000 as the cost of living has gone up,” the TDP supremo recalled.

Calling Jagan as the most selfish person under the sky, Chandrababu Naidu said that it is the TDP allied NDA that is going to come to power in these elections and advised the officials not to get into trouble by violating the norms to temporarily satisfy the ruling party leaders.

My first signature will be to resume the volunteer system, says Jagan

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said his first signature would be to reinstate the volunteer system after forming the government while noting that TDP Chief Chandrababu Nadu was responsible for the death of 31 old age people who lost their lives after trying to get the pension from the village secretariats amidst the rising the temperature.

Addressing the public meeting organized in Naidupeta as part of his Memantha Siddham Yatra on Thursday, the Chief Minister asked the people whether they are ready to fight the evil that stands in the way of doing good for the state of Andhra Pradesh.

“The battle of Kurukshetra is between the YSRCP government, which works for the welfare of the people like empowerment of women through various initiatives including registration of 31 lakh house titles, and the opposition who prevent the government from doing any good to the people,” said the Chief Minister Jagan.

Coming down heavily on Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister Jagan said, “He (Chandrababu Naidu) could not bear that the government has been giving pensions on time through volunteers, so he used his men to urge the Election Commission to stop the volunteers from disbursing the pension.” The Chief Minister also noted that he would come back to power on June 4, and the first signature would be to bring back the volunteer system.

“We are committed to providing quality education to underprivileged children by providing English medium in government schools. Further, Chandrababu Naidu gave only fraudulent promises, and we don’t make any such promises nor compete with his ‘kichadi’ manifesto,” said Chief Minister Jagan.

“The Janma Bhoomi committee brought by TDP was marred with corruption. The people were forced to pay bribes to get ration, and pensions, and to get toilets constructed in villages. But the volunteer system introduced by the YSRCP government efficiently delivered all welfare schemes without corruption,” said Chief Minister Jagan.

The Chief Minister also explained the unfulfilled promises of Chandrababu Naidu like waiving farm loans, a job in every household, financial assistance to unemployed youth, and so on. “Once again Naidu is coming up with fake promises to deceive the people of the state. Are you all ready to safeguard the future of the poor from Naidu’s deception?” asks the Chief Minister to the crowd.

Jagan expands the Vahana Mitra scheme to lorry owners

In a significant announcement during the “Driverlatho Mukha Mukhi” program with the residents of Chinna Shinganamala in Tirupati district, Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy reaffirmed his commitment to inclusivity and the dignity of every profession.

Jagan has announced that the Vahana Mitra scheme, which provides financial assistance to self-owned auto, taxi, and maxi cab drivers, will be extended to those who own trucks and lorries once YSRCP comes back to power. Eligible beneficiaries under this scheme will receive Rs. 10,000 per year, thereby broadening the scope of support to various sectors of transportation.

Furthermore, Jagan addressed recent derogatory remarks made by Chandrababu Naidu regarding Veeranjaneyu, a candidate of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) labeled as a “tipper driver.

“Just like Veeranjaneyulu, individuals from all social classes and professions can get the opportunity to serve as legislators whenever possible. When a person from a particular profession occupies a seat in the assembly, they can advocate for the issues specific to their profession, thereby bringing them to the government’s attention. In doing so, the government can effectively address the challenges faced by individuals in that profession. Despite this being a known fact, the former chief minister, who served three terms over 14 years, has disrespected them by stating that “Jagan has given the seat to Tipper Driver and called him an illiterate who uses thumbprints.” What wrong has Jagan done? What justification do you have for disrespecting the driver? While you favored affluent individuals with tickets, I chose to empower the common man,” CM said.

“On the other hand, I’m feeling proud to let you know that a staggering 3,93,655 people have independently purchased autos and taxis, sustaining their livelihoods. Moreover, many of them are educated and have made investments in their businesses. They faced no fear of joblessness and received no external support, yet stood resolutely on their own, providing for their families. Our YSRC party offered them the recognition they deserved, granting them an identity. Obtaining a fitness certificate annually necessitates insurance coverage and regular vehicle maintenance. Without fulfilling these requirements, obtaining the fitness certificate remains unattainable. The Vahana Mitra scheme aims to lessen the financial burdens for beneficiaries, assisting them in overcoming these challenges,” the chief minister further emphasized.

Further emphasizing the purpose behind the event, the Chief Minister highlighted the aim to foster self-employment opportunities, enabling individuals to achieve self-sufficiency and support their families independently. Additionally, he underscored the accessibility of all schemes under the Navaratnalu to ordinary drivers and others, ensuring equal benefits for all.

Highlighting the impact of the Vahana Mitra scheme, Jagan revealed that 18,000 families in the district have benefited from it, receiving a total of Rs. 61 crore across seven segments.

Furthermore, Jagan encouraged people to share their suggestions and recommendations by writing them on the provided slips and depositing them into designated boxes. The Chief Minister concluded his address with a commitment to ensuring the realization of all constructive ideas for the betterment of all citizens.

“Are you ready to help me with a ‘double-century’ government?” Jagan asks people

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has called the TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu a ‘sadist’ for stopping the volunteers from delivering the pension on people’s doorstep, which irked the senior citizens and old age people, and asked the public to take revenge on TDP on May 13 (Polling Day) at the public meeting near Puthalapattu as part of his Memantha Siddham Yatra on Wednesday.

Addressing the crowd gathered in the arena, the Chief Minister said, “Seeing the elderly people suffer today since they couldn’t walk to collect their pensions, I can’t help but wonder if Chandrababu Naidu possesses any humanity or if he’s a sadist since he stalled the volunteers from disbursing the pension by approaching the Election Commission.”

He asked the crowd whether they were ready for this war to protect the future of the poor. “Go to every household and ask them if they have benefited from the welfare schemes,” said Chief Minister Jagan while noting that YSRCP would reinstate the volunteer system once they come back to power.

“This is a war between Chandrababu Naidu, who is a habitual liar and cheat, and Jagan on the other side, who does everything for the people. Are you ready to help me win 175/175 assembly seats and 25/25 Lok Sabha seats to defeat the corrupt? Are you ready to help me with a double-century government?” Jagan asks the energetic crowd.

“People gave them (TDP) an opportunity in the past to do good but did they fulfill it? Have an open discussion amongst yourselves and make a conscious decision. People should discuss what they (Chandrababu’s government) provided in their 10-year rule. Check your bank statement from earlier years. Were you able to find even a single scheme through which Naidu deposited one rupee in your account,” said the Chief Minister.

The Chief Minister also explained the schemes introduced by the YSRCP government from village secretariats, revolutionizing government schools, village clinics, DBT to women beneficiaries, Rythu Bharosa Kendras to help farmers to other doorstep delivery services to help the people.

“We are the only state which provides pensions to 66 lakh people. Further, we gave Rs 34,370 crores to the farmers (Rythu Bharosa), and free crop insurance of Rs. 7,800 crores was paid. Through input subsidy, the farmers were given Rs. 3,262 crores. And in total, only through DBT, Rs 2.7 lakh crores were directly deposited in the beneficiary accounts under various welfare schemes,” said the Chief Minister.

On the 7th day of the Memantha Siddham Yatra Chief Minister started his roadshow from Sadum Mandal in the morning and proceeded via Kallur, Damalacheruvu, Gundlapalli, Talaupulapalli, Tenepalli to Pulalapattu where he addressed the public meeting. After the meeting, he started towards the night halt at Renigunta in Tirupati via Gollapalli, Gadanki, Kongaravari Palem, and Mamanduru.

Jagan did not fill up even single teacher post in 5 years: AS Rama Krishna

Jagan did not fill up even single teacher post in 5 years: AS Rama Krishna

Jagan Mohan Reddy, who has made a promise to the unemployed youth before coming to power to notify District Selection Committee (DSC) every year to fill up vacant teacher posts did not fill up even a single teach post in these five years after he became the Chief Minister, said senior TDP leader and former MLC, AS Rama Krishna, here on Monday.

Rama Krishna told media persons that the TDP has the history of filling up 1.7 lakh teacher posts through 12 DSCs when the party was in power and pointed out that Jagan, after coming to power has withdrawn the schemes like the Best Available Schools and the Videsi Vidya. On top of it all, Jagan has ordered for closure of 25,000 schools in the State through GO no 117 resulting in 50,000 teachers losing their jobs, the former MLC said.

While the Chief Minister has no basic knowledge about the Right to Education Act while the Principal Secretary (Education), Praveen Prakash, has turned into a high-profile assistant for Jagan, the TDP senior leader remarked. The people strongly believed Jagan when he had made the promises before coming to power like Mega DSC every year, Nadu-Nedu, doing away with the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) and regularisation of the services of the part-time lecturers but he did not fulfill even a single promise after he became the Chief Minister, Rama Krishna said.

Jagan has absolutely no intention to improve the academic facilities and he even scrapped the Best Available Schools and Videsi Vidya schemes for the poor besides replacing Dr BR Ambedkar’s name with his own name, he added. With the merger of some schools the entire academic sector has got totally destroyed, Rama Krishna felt.

Making it clear that the TDP is not against the introduction of English medium in schools, Rama Krishna said that the Centre has brought in a legislation on Right to Education through 82nd amendment to the Constitution which is in force from April 1, 2010 but Jagan is not aware of this Act. This new Act clearly indicates that upto eighth standard the medium of education should be in one’s mother tongue, in Andhra Pradesh it is Telugu, he added.

The State Government on one hand says that admissions should not be taken up by private colleges before the notification is issued but on the other hand spot admissions are allowed by government colleges, he said. The lecturers are not allowed to have holidays while the newly established government junior colleges do not have teaching staff at all, he pointed out.

If the Election Commission suspends the services of the teachers that they are indulging in election campaign for the ruling party then who is responsible for their services, Rama Krishna asked. In this election year the State Government has sanctioned Rs 600 cr for the old contractor to print the text-books from class 1 to 10 thus looting a heavy amount of the public, he remarked.

Demanding that all these books be printed only after getting clearance from the poll panel, Rama Krishna said that the YSRCP is misusing even education for its election campaign. The former MLC also demanded the Election Commission to focus on this and also initiate action against Mr Praveen Prakash for dancing to the tunes of Jagan.

Good turnout in Gooty Town for Jagan

The 4th day of the “Memantha Siddham” bus yatra witnessed an enthusiasm and support as Chief Minister Y S Jagan receiving a heartfelt welcome in Anantapur, after concluding his roadshow in Kurnool district,

The journey commenced in the morning from the outskirts of Pattikonda, with the Chief Minister greeted by cheering crowds at every turn, leading to a delay in schedule due to the overwhelming response from the people.

As the bus entered Gooty town in Anantapur district, the streets of Gooty were flooded with an overwhelming wave of support, with people lining up to catch a glimpse of their Chief Minister as the bus journeyed through the town. The unprecedented display of solidarity underscores the deep connection between Jagan and the people of Gooty, marking a significant milestone in the region’s history. The road show continued for approximately 7 kilometers from Gooty Railway Bridge to Gooty Highway for about 2 hours, with a massive crowd lining the streets to extend a warm welcome to their leader.

Earlier at Tuggali Jagan Mohan Reddy’s Memantha Siddham Yatra continues to pull people in large numbers in Kurnool. On the fourth day of the yatra, Jagan interacted with the people of Tuggali and Ratana villages and explained the schemes implemented by the government while also receiving suggestions from the beneficiaries during the meeting.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister said, “there are about 10,000 people in the two secretariats of Tuggali and Ratana villages. We can see the revolutionary changes brought in by our government, which didn’t happen in the previous regime, and the people should ask why it didn’t happen earlier.”

“Out of 1,748 houses (population of 5200) in Tuggali village, we have benefited 1,666 houses, i.e. 95 percent of the houses through various welfare schemes. In the previous government, whatever work was needed, whether it was toilets, pensions, or subsidized loans, without bribes it would not be possible. In 58 months, Rs. 29.65 crores have been deposited to the beneficiaries in the Tuggali village alone. Meanwhile, Ratana village with a population of 4888 people and 1,569 houses, we have benefited 95 percent of the houses where Rs. 26 crores and 59 lakhs have been deposited into the account of beneficiaries,” said Chief Minister.

The Chief Minister also listed down the scheme-wise funds distributed to the villages of Tuggali and Ratna for Ammavodi, Vidya Deevena, Asara, YSR Kalyanamastu, Pensions, YSR Rythu Bharosa which were given without bribe or discrimination.

Further, he also mentioned the number of beneficiaries in the housing scheme (66 houses to Tuggali and 122 houses to Ratana) and YSR Aarogyasri and Arogya Asara scheme, which provides free medical treatment.

The Chief Minister also explained to the people about the secretariat system with organized volunteers, and said, “RBK is a great system that takes care of farmers. The government also provides free crop insurance for every acre.”

He also talked about the revolutionary changes in the government schools where the present government implemented English medium in government schools with bilingual textbooks (one page Telugu and another side English), Tabs given to the eighth-class students, digital teaching, and so on.

“We vote in this election not just to elect an MLA or MP but for the continuation of these ongoing changes, which improve the livelihood of the poor,” said Jagan.

After interacting with pension beneficiaries, the Chief Minister said, “People should ask their family members about the pension they had received during Chandrababu’s rule and how much it was. But now, our present government is providing Rs 3000, which is not available in any other state in the country. We are spending over Rs. 24 thousand crores per annum on pensions (66 lakh beneficiaries). If we compare to other states, Telangana is in second place with only Rs. 12 thousand crores. In the previous government, only Rs. 39 lakhs were given to people.”

Women hold protest with empty pots in Jagan tour

Hundreds of women held a protest with empty pots in chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s bus yatra in Kurnool district on Saturday. The women holding empty pots walked towards the bus in which Jagan Mohan Reddy was travelling at Jonnagiri village of Thuggali mandal in Kurnool district.

The women said that they have drinking water problem in the village. No party had addressed the issue so far, they said. They further blamed the chief minister for not attending to their problem in the last five years. They wanted the chief minister to resolve the issue without further delay.

The security personnel and the ruling YSR Congress leaders tried to stop the women approaching the bus. As they did not go back or stop moving forward, Jagan Mohan Reddy finally got down from the bus and interacted with some women.

The women complained to the chief minister that they have no drinking water in the village. They said that they have been giving representations to every leader. The issue is to be addressed without further delay, they said.

The chief minister told them that he would look into the issue. He further told them that he would resolve the issue and give them drinking water. It was then the women gave the way to the chief minister to move forward in the bus.

The issue shocked the ruling party leaders in Kurnool district. The chief minister was angry at the party’s local leaders for allowing the women to hold a protest in front of him. He wondered why the leaders allowed the women to come on to the roads with empty pots.

The chief minister told the party leaders to resolve the issue before it becomes an election issue. He advised the leaders to take care of such issues before his bus moves forward. He said he does not want to see such protests in future. He further told them that such protests would give negative publicity for the party.

Take forward YSRCP success story, Jagan tells people

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called upon the people to tale forward the success story of YSRCP by giving it a clean sweep of 175 Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats and rejecting the anti-people combine of TDP, Jana Sena and BJP in the forthcoming elections.

Addressing a huge public meeting here on Thursday on the second day of the ‘Memanta Siddham’ poll campaign, the Chief Minister urged people to take forward the winning streak of YSRCP while showing the exit door to the opposition from politics.

For the first time in the country, the poor in Andhra Pradesh are experiencing due respect in the last 58 months, he said, adding that Government spent Rs. 2.7 lakh crore implementing various welfare schemes for ushering in their social and economic empowerment while TDP pursued the policy of plunder, stash and devour and is hatching conspiracies hand in glove with Jana Sena and BJP to exploit the people again.

Describing the sea of humanity that thronged the public meeting as the YSRCP people’s army, he said that people across the State are ready to teach a fitting lesson to the TDP-led alliance to ensure that anti-people Government doesn’t come to power again.

Listing out various welfare schemes like Amma Vodi, YSR Cheyutha, Aasara, Jagananna Vidya Deevena, Vasathi Deevena, Rythu Bharosa, Kapu Nestham, delivery of monthly social pensions at door-step and EBC Nestham, he asked the people to think why Chandrababu Naidu failed to implement similar schemes during his rule.

Telling the people that revolutionary changes took place in the last 58 months in educational, medical and health and agricultural sectors to improve educational standards of students, provide preventive health care with village clinics and family doctors and handhold the farmers at every step through RBKs, the Chief Minister asked the people to assess why Naidu failed to carry out similar reforms.
Recalling how TDP defaulted and cheated people on promises of waiver of farm and self-help group loans, Maha Lakshmi and Kuteera Lakshmi schemes, jobs for the youth and stipend for the unemployed and three-cents of house sites for the poor after winning 2014 polls in alliance with Jana Sena and BJP and distributing signed election manifestoes, he said they have ganged up again to take people for a ride once again.

Besides implementing slew of welfare schemes and reforms in several sectors, Government is also building 17 new medical colleges, four sea ports and 10 fishing harbors and brining in investments to put the State on path of development, he said, adding that new districts have been carved out and three Capitals were proposed for decentralized growth.

He told the people that, despite ruling the State for 14 years, Chandrababu Naidu did not work even to bring about a meagre five percent change of what he did in the last 58 months.

It is in the hands of people to decide whether they want the door-to-door welfare and development saga to continue for the next five years by electing YSRCP back to power or take the State backwards by 10 years by electing the TDP and its allies.

The Chief Minister said that the ensuing polls are a battle between justice led by YSRCP and injustice led by TDP and its allies and called upon the people not to fall prey to the conspiracies being hatched by TDP in cahoots with Jana Sena and BJP to deprive the poor of their welfare benefits.

It is only after YSRCP came to power that election manifestoes gained credibility, the Chief Minister said, adding that Chandrababu brand stands for cheating all sections of people.

There is nothing great about TDP or its political allies except for taking people for a ride, he said and urged them to vote back the YSRCP to power in the ensuing elections to continue the welfare and development saga.
