YS Jagan tears into opposition for malicious campaign against AP Govt

AMALAPURAM: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has launched a scatching attack against the opposition leaders accusing them of a mischievous campaign to mislead people for political gains with the aid of friendly media.

Addressing a mammoth public gathering in Janupalli Village after disbursing Rs 1,353.76 crore towards interest reimbursement under YSR Sunna Vaddi (zero interest) Scheme on Friday, the Chief Minister charged the TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu with taking a detour to provoke people at his public meetings. “The TDP is aiming to come to power to pursue the policy of plunder, stash and devour again which it had pursued between 2014 and 2019 and people have no reason to believe them,” YS Jagan said.

Taking a dig at the derogatory comments made by Jana Sena Party President Pawan Kalyan, YS Jagan said that the foster son of Chandrababu Naidu had no interest in becoming the Chief Minister. “Pawan Kalyan’s intention is to see Chandrababu at the helm and he can stoop to any low. The duo has shamelessly abused the volunteers who have been rendering yeoman service to the people and cautioned people not to fall prey to Opposition false promises of a costly car and one kg gold per house during polls,” the Chief Minister said.

YS Jagan crticised that Chandrababu, who became Chief Minister almost two and half decades ago and ruled the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh State for 14 years had no single achievement to his credit. "Chandrababu has a history of ditching women, SCs, STs, BCs and minorities after coming to power in 2014 with false promises. The TDP Chief has created several hurdles in the allotment of house sites and houses for the poor, opposed English medium in schools, shown disrespect to SC and ST women, cheated unemployed youth and created wedge between dalits,” he said.

“I have no friendly media, no foster son to support me. I only believe in God and depend on people. People will teach a fitting lesson to the opposition in the elections if you feel you are benefitted from this Government,” he said and asked the people not to be misled by the gimmicks of TDP and Jana Sena.
