Launching a blistering attack against TDP and Jana Sena, Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy described them as two political entities having no credibility among masses.
Addressing a public gathering before releasing Rs 584 crore under Jagananna Vidya Deevena at Bhimavaram of West Godavari district on Friday, the Chief Minister called upon the people to defeat the two political parties in the next elections.
Stating that the government has so far disbursed Rs 2,45,000 crore under DBT schemes, the Chief Minister asked people to think why Naidu failed to implement these schemes during his tenure. Despite working for14 years as Chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu has no achievements to his credit as he spent entire tenure indulging in scams and pursuing the policy of plunder, stash and devour, he said, adding that the TDP chief has no political values and credibility except telling lies, cheating people, and backstabbing.
Flaying the Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, he said that the actor, who was rejected by the local people in the last elections, is a non-local residing in the neighbouring state with no address in Andhra Pradesh. We have seen some individuals sacrificing everything for the sake of people but here is a Tyaga Raju who is sacrificing his political life for the sake of Chandrababu, he said, taking a dig at Pawan Kalyan.
As the government strongly believes that only education can change the course of a country and the people for good, it has brought about revolutionary changes in the educational sector spending a huge Rs 73,417 crore in the last 55 months.
What way people would benefit if Naidu who works for his gang of thieves having no concern for the poor and Pawan Kalyan who sacrifices his political life and pledges people for packages become our leaders, he questioned.
In the entire country, the package star is the only party president who wants others to become Chief Minister, he said. “I have two daughters. We have sisters and mothers. What culture do our women inherit if people like Pawan Kalyan who has no respect for the institution of marriage become our leaders?” he said adding that voting such people could never be justified.
Mocking at the Lokesh’s padayatra and its closure meeting, the Chief Minister said that people in all villages from Kuppam to Ichhapuram would only remember the village secretariats, volunteer system , RBKs, pension door delivery, village clinics, family doctors, Mahila Police, Jagananna Aarogya Suraksha and free power supply to farmers ushered in by Jagananna, Quoting the much talked about poem ‘Elika Toka Techhi Yedadi Utikinaa Nalupu Nalupu Gaani Telupa Raadu….’ from the works of the philosopher and poet Vemana, the Chief Minister told people that both Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan would never change their colours and asked people not to believe them.
The government has distributed 35 lakh house site pattas to the poor and is building 22 lakh houses besides building 17 new medical colleges, four new ports and 10 fishing harbours, he said, adding that non-performing assets of the self-help groups has been brought down to .03 per cent from 18 per cent in TDP rule, by implementing several welfare programmes like Sunna Vaddi, YSR Aasara, YSR Cheyutha. Farmers and the poor were given full ownership rights over 35 lakh acres after removing them from 22A, he said, adding that social pensions were hiked by three times and 50 per cent of the nominated posts were reserved for women and 75 per cent of the benefits of welfare schemes are being received by SC, ST, BC, and minority communities. What better Naidu could do, he asked, observing that the TDP Chief does not want the people to keep in mind the good done by the government.
The TDP and Jana Sena, aided and abetted by the friendly media, are now trying to cheat the people with a joint manifesto containing false promises as they have no guts to contest independently in the elections and release own manifestoes.
He asked the people to defeat the two parties in the next elections so that the State could be saved from their evil designs.
