Chittoor (Andhra Pradesh) [India]: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called upon people not to be carried away by “false propaganda” of the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
Addressing a huge public meeting in Nagiri town on Monday, the Chief Minister said that former Chief Minister and TDP National President N Chandrababu Naidu, who had promised heaven to people before elections pushed them towards hell after coming to power and doesn’t believe in his own party or his son.
“Naidu’s friendly media is carrying him on its shoulders for selfish ends,” he said.
Objecting to the opposition’s claim that development in the State has taken a back seat, the Chief Minister said that development is tangible in introducing family doctor programme and village clinics for strengthening preventive health care, filling up of speciality doctor vacancies, construction of 17 new medical colleges, 4 new sea ports and 10 fishing harbours besides keeping the State at number 1 position in the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) for three years in a row.
Not even a single scheme comes to our mind when we think of the rule of Naidu who became Chief Minister thrice. The TDP chief is depending on lies, conspiracies and backstabbing for coming to power, he said.
He further said it is preposterous that the very person who backstabbed TDP founder and ex-Chief Minister NT Rama Rao and usurped power from him is garlanding his portrait shamelessly for political gains.
The Chief Minister made fun of Naidu’s plans to lodge complaints to the Election Commission and said, “Culprits are speaking of lodging complaints against us. The TDP chief has no respect for its own manifesto.”
Chandrababu, who pursued the policy of plunder, stash and devour by cheating farmers, self-help groups, the unemployed, BCs, STs, SCs and minorities, is once again resorting to conspiracies and lies aiming at coming to power, he said.
On the other hand, the Government has so far spent Rs. 2,33,000 crore implementing a slew of welfare schemes treating its election manifesto as the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible and the Quran, he stated.
