TDP national president and former chief minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Thursday said that ‘Idemi Kharma’ is the right title for the prevailing condition of the State now.

Addressing the roadshow at Narakoduru in Ponnur Assembly segment as part of the ‘Idemi Kharama’ programme, Chandrababu said “Till the other day we have organised Badude-Badudu programme and now we have started Idemi Kharma.”

Stating that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, suddenly remembered Backward Classes (BCs) four years after coming to power, Chandrababu said that the public attended Jagan’s meeting on Wednesday only due to the fear that the welfare programmes will be discontinued but not willingly.

The situation is totally different with regard to the TDP meetings, he said, adding that the public is gathering voluntarily at the TDP meetings. Making it clear that he has come to Ponnur only to meet the farmers and the youth but not to seek their support to again become the chief minister, Chandrababu said that “The State no longer needs rule by psychos and needs the regime of the Cycle.”

Pointing out that the family members of Dhulipala Narendra Kumar have won the polls from this Assembly segment for seven times, he said that illegal cases have been filed against Narendra, who won five times from here successively.

Chandrababu called upon the people to join hands to unitedly wage a fight to save the State from this psycho rule and that he will lead them. “Unless you are alert it is difficult to protect the State from these psychos,” he added.

Calling Jagan as an Amul Baby, the TDP supremo said that the Chief Minister likes Amul very well.

Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy told the officials to get the village clinics ready by Ugadi. He also told them to speed up the construction of the village clinics in the state.

The Chief Minister who held a meeting with the officials on Thursday reviewed the implementation of the pilot project of the family doctor concept that began on October 10. He told them to ensure that the staff should act as role model while taking up full responsibility for the distribution of medicines and giving suggestions on the diet to be followed by the patients.

He said there should be a full-fledged machinery to run the family doctor concept at the state, constituency and Mandal levels with senior officials monitoring the control rooms at the state and district levels to run the grievances and response system in a systematic manner. A special 104 number should be made available to receive the complaints from people on the medical and health issues and this number should be made available at all places including village clinics.

He asked them to make the women and child welfare department their partner in the implementation of the concept while filling up all vacancies and arranging 104 vehicles in sufficient numbers. He asked them to identify the children, pregnant women and lactating mothers suffering with anaemia and transfer the data to the Women and Child Welfare Department so that they would be supplied with nutritious food and proper medicines.

The Chief Minister directed the officials to use modern technology and prepare an app indicating the details of the network hospitals treating various diseases under the Aarogyasri Scheme and incorporating the details of the Family Doctor concept to create awareness among people. He wanted the officials to give tabs or mobiles to all staff members including the Aasha workers and ANMs to assist people on the medical necessities.

Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has taken to the epic Ramayana to liken landowners and land grabbers with Rama and Ravana and took the metaphor further to those who came to power on their own and those who usurped Party and power from others.

Speaking at the distribution of land title deeds at Narasannapet in Srikakulam district on Wednesday, the Chief Minister said people like MGR, NTR and Jagan have launched political parties and came to power on their own charisma and policies. However, there are others like Chandrababu Naidu who usurped the party and power from his father-in-law which is like land grabbing, he said.

While the earlier set of people is termed landowners the latter can be described as land grabber, the Chief Minister said. People supporting Ravana, who set his eye on Sita, should be called as demons and the friendly media of Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan, are like dushta chathustayam (Gang of Four).

While Chandrababu Naidu, who did nothing during his term, has been carrying out false propaganda with his gang for political gains, we are implementing revolutionary programmes.

Reiterating the commitment to decentralization, the Chief Minister said, from three capitals to increasing the number of districts to 26 to setting up of village and ward secretariats we have been moving forward.

We have changed the rural landscape with the introduction of Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs), e-cropping, soil testing, village clinics, family doctor concept, English medium schools among others.

The State government is committed to development of all regions and send the message of accountability, while Chandrababu wanted to encourage regional disparities, Jagan Mohan Reddy said.

Never believe them or their propaganda and the only yardstick for giving mandate is the welfare every household has received. I trust my people and God only, he said.

In a democracy, people only believe those leaders who keep up their promises and Chandrababu was always found wanting on that count. One should think if betrayers should be given another chance to enter the assembly, he asked.

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) spokesman and party senior leader, Kommareddy Pattabhiram, on Monday said that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, turned Andhra Pradesh into an atrocious pradesh.

Pointing to the recent RBI report, Pattabhiram told media persons that the report clearly mentioned that the State has witnessed destruction. Is this the reason that Jagan Mohan Reddy showed impatience at Narsapuram on Monday, Pattabhiram asked.

If he is received from the public so well, what is the need for barricading either side of the road that he travels and where is the necessity for such a tight security with thousands of policemen, the TDP leader questioned. Anger, impatience and hatred in Jagan have reached the peak stage, he stated.

On the other hand, former chief minister and TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s meetings are drawing huge crowds wherever he goes, and the record gathering at the recent meeting in Kurnool is an indication that the people are angry at Jagan’s rule, Pattabhiram maintained. The people want Chandrababu Naidu to come back to power.

People were forcibly shifted for Jagan’s Monday meeting at Narsapuram, he said, adding that they left in the middle of the meeting as they were unable to hear the YSRCP leaders’ false promises. Jagan spewed venom at the latest programme being taken up by the TDP “Idemi Kharma-Ee Rashtraniki’, he stated.

Pattabhiram said that the people are not ready to bid goodbye to Chandrababu Naidu so easily as Jagan bid goodbye to his paternal uncle, Vivekannada Reddy.

The manufacturing and construction sectors too witnessed a total downfall while the industrial sector touched its rock-bottom level, Pattabhiram added. When industries like Jackie are leaving the State, how development is possible, the TDP spokesman asked and made it clear that the TDP will continue to expose the failures of the government.
