KOVVURU, East Godavari District: Describing the next Assembly elections as a ‘Kurukshetra’ war, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy on Wednsday called upon the people to stand by the YSRCP and teach Chandrababu Naidu and the opposition a fitting lesson.

He addressed a public meeting in Kovvuru after releasing Rs 703 crore under Jagananna Vidya Deevena for total fee reimbursement of 9.95 lakh students for the first quarter of 2023. The Chief Minister said that the Government spent Rs 3 lakh crore implementing a series of DBT and non-DBT welfare programmes in the last four years, giving utmost priority for people’s welfare.

He asked the people to make a genuine self-assessment if they were benefitted through the welfare programmes and compare the present welfare policies with the administration of the TDP.

“The poor were totally neglected during the TDP rule as Chandrababu Naidu never cared for them,” YS Jagan claimed, asking the people to think why the previous Government did not implement any welfare programme.

“We are implementing a plethora of welfare programmes though the present budget was less, percentage wise in comparision with the budgets in the TDP rule. Why did the TDP Government fail to implement welfare programmes for the poor just as we do now?” he asked, stating that Naidu only implemented the policy of ‘plunder, stash and devour’ while his foster son and friendly media had tacitly supported him.

The Chief Minister said that his pro-poor government was fighting a class war unleashed by the pro-capitalist TDP with the backing of its friendly media and foster son and it is the responsibility of the people to thwart their evil designs.

“Don’t be carried away by the vicious and malicious campaign launched by the gang of thieves for selfish ends. While Naidu and his foster son think their strength is the media which is indulging in falsehood, I strongly believe you are my strength and confidence. Naidu counts on his foster son whereas I count on you and God,” he told the people, appealing to them to become his soldiers and bring victory to the YSRCP in the next elections if they feel they are benefitted.
