“You are desperate, so calling me ‘baccha’”: Jagan derides Chandrababu, Pawan Kalyan

ANAKAPALLI: Chief Minister YS Jagan has targetted the opposition alliance of the TDP-BJP-JSP and said that the alliance is desperate to come to power. Speaking at a rally in Anakapalli on Saturday, Jagan targetted TDP president Chandrababu Naidu for calling him a "baccha".

"These days, during Naidu's 'Prajagalam' sabhas, he is labeling me as a 'baccha'. When he utters such nonsense, it reminds me of certain stories. For instance, Lord Krishna's evil uncle, Kamsa, once perceived Krishna as a 'baccha'. Now, as Babu embarks on his campaign, Pawan Kalyan is likened to play the role of Puthana, and Chandrababu Naidu portrayed as Kamsa. Even Ravana, who regarded Hanuman as a 'bacha', is equated with all these demonic characters. When it comes time for defeat, all villains will find heroes on the opposing side, portrayed as "bacchas" according to you Chandrababu," Jagan said.

Stating that the TDP regime failed to develop the State, Jagan said, "The 'baccha' you mention, Chandrababu, has indeed made significant contributions to the welfare of the State's people and is confidently moving forward independently. During your 14-year tenure as a Chief Minister, if you assert that you served the State's poor well, why do you display signs of fear at the sight of a 'baccha' and seek desperate alliances?

"During Chandrababu's tenure, the State ranked 28th and 29th in terms of public welfare. However, under the YSRCP Government, we have climbed to the fifth position through our various schemes and initiatives such as Rythu Bharosa, Aasara, Sunna Vaddi, Cheyutha, Kapu Nestham, EBC Nestham, Vahana Mitra, Nethanna Nestham, and numerous others," Jagan said.

Stating that providing quality education is the way forward to progress and reducing poverty, Jagan said, "Every family aspires to progress and break free from poverty. To achieve this, they need to chart a path forward which isn't just about acquiring education but receiving quality education accessible in all Government schools. I firmly believe in this principle, which is why our Government has been spearheading revolutionary changes in the education sector. On the contrary, the former Chief Minister, boasting of a 14-year tenure, now 70-years-old, what does he propose? He advocates against introducing English medium in Government schools. If anyone is capable of such actions, it is Chandrababu Naidu."

Blaming Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan and Purandeshwari for the stone attack on him, Jagan said, "Looking at the Siddham sabhas, there are trains and buses running the heart of the opponents. Anger and inflammation in the stomach of the opposition is clearly seen, especially Naidu who is instigating public to hit me with stones. He says he will break me. This is the agenda of Naidu, his adopted son (Pawan Kalyan) and his sister-in-law (Purandeshwari)."
