YSRCP continues to keep the buzz around its ongoing Samajika Sadhikara bus yatra by putting a massive show of strength in Nellore’s Kovvur constituency today where hordes of party supporters gathered to pledge their support to chief minister Jagan’s governance.
Conveying the message of social justice and development rendered by Jagan’s government in the last four-and-a-half years, senior party leaders including Deputy Chief Minister Peedika Rajanna Dora, Social Welfare Minister Merugu Nagarjuna, MLAs Anil Kumar Yadav, Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy and Actor Ali ferried across the assembly segment on the top of a bus.
While addressing a massive gathering at Rajupalem center, Deputy Chief Minister Peedika Rajanna Dora drew a contrast between Jagan’s administration and the previous TDP regime, and stated, “Chandrababu, who served 14 years as the chief minister for three terms had given a mere 40,000 acres benefitting just 17,000 tribals in the state, whereas Jagan has given more than 3 lakh acres benefitting approximately 2 lakh tribals in the last 4.5 years.”
In a full-throttle attack on TDP, Rajanna Dora said, “TDP has given around 20 promises to tribals during the 2014 elections. How many promises did it fulfill? Did the TDP government acquire even one acre of land and distribute it to the poor tribals in the state? Did TDP establish an ST commission for the welfare of poor tribals?”
Joining along, Minister Merugu Nagarjuna further emboldened the attack on Chandrababu and criticized him for opposing English medium education for the poor and marginalized children studying in the government schools.
“Chandrababu and his cronies enrolled their children in international schools and provided the best education to them but when the state government introduced English medium to empower poor and underprivileged children, studying in government schools, Naidu and his troop opposed the move and approached courts to prevent Jagan from doing good to the children,” the minister remarked.
Kovvur MLA Prasanna Kumar Reddy hailed Jagan’s regime for extending welfare benefits totaling Rs 1,375 crores through direct benefit transfer (DBT) and non-DBT schemes to nearly 1.28 lakh families across the Kovvur constituency in the last 4.5 years.
