YS Jagan dares TDP, Jana Sena to contest for 175 Assembly seats individually

TENALI: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy challenged the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Jana Sena to contest for all the 175 Assembly seats individually and said that the Opposition parties knew that they couldn’t dare to do it.

Asserting that the YSRCP had implemented 98.5 percent of its election promises and that it would ensure a clean sweep of 175 seats in the next elections, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy said that the Opposition parties are scared of becoming irrelevant. YS Jagan asked people not to be carried away by the misleading and false propaganda of the unethical TDP and Jana Sena which are not even confident of contesting all the seats.

“With a generous heart, the Government did good things for the welfare of people unlike the TDP rule that cheated every section of the society,” he said, adding that the State enjoyed good rains during the last three and half years due to God’s blessings.“During TDP rule, the State suffered from drought as it was headed by Chandrababu Naidu who is an embodiment of injustice, cheating and lies.”

He said that the opposition parties have become envious of the credibility and political goodwill of the YSRCP.

The State is witnessing a class war between the poor backed by the Government and the capitalists backed by the opposition, he said, and asked people to be wary of the conspiracies of the envious TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu-led gang of four and Pawan Kalyan.

The Chief Minister asked the people to vote for the YSRCP in the next elections if they feel they have benefitted from the slew of welfare measures.

He asked the people to see the qualitative difference between the TDP rule which had pursued a policy of plunder, stash and devour with the support of friendly media and Naidu’s ‘foster son’ Pawan Kalyan and the present Government which has been implementing plethora of welfare and developmental programmes for the economic prosperity of the people.

The Chief Minister addressed a huge public meeting on Tuesday after releasing Rs.1090.76 crore under YSR Rythu Bharosa-PM Kisan benefiting 51.12 lakh farmers and Rs. 76.99crore under Input subsidy for the benefit of 91,237 agriculture and horticulture farmers who have suffered crop loss due to natural calamities in December last.

Under the Rythu Bharosa-PM Kisan and Input Subsidy, the Government has so far spent Rs. 27,062.09 crore and Rs.1911.78 crore respectively, he said, adding that a whopping Rs.1, 45, 750 crore was spent on various welfare schemes after YSRCP came to power.

Reacting to the appeals of the Tenali MLA A. Sivakumar, the Chief Minister sanctioned Rs. 9 crore for a new burial ground in the SC colony in the town, Rs. 4 crore for a Shadi khana +

for Muslims, Rs. 5 crore for constructing agricultural market yard at Kollipara, Rs. 10 crore for road widening between Duggirala and Kollipara and Rs. 15 crore for the Municipal building.
