Observing that the State has suffered heavily in all sectors in the past five years, TDP president and former chief minister, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, on Sunday remarked that everyone in the State is a victim of Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy’s rule.
Jagan has totally misused the power given by the people, Chandrababu Naidu said and expressed surprise whether there is any governance in the State. Addressing a huge public gathering here as part of the ongoing ‘Raa Kadali Raa’ programme, Chandrababu Naidu remarked that the prevailing situation in the State is so bad that even popular industrialists like Galla Jayadev are opining out of politics.
Expressing concern that one Durga Rao resorted to suicide in Macherla Assembly segment unable to bear the police harassment, Chandrababu said that he has developed the State much before Jagan is born. “Anyone in the State clearly accept that the State is developed on the foundations laid by me and I have brought in radical changes in the lifestyle of the people and this is unanimously admitted by those who are living in 80 different countries,” he remarked.
Stating that after the bifurction of the State he strived hard for building Amaravathi and for completing Polavaram proect, the former chief minister said that he made every attempt to invite industrialists to set up their units in the State. “Unformtunately after Jagan came to power he chased out all these industries and I am also a victim of Jagan,” he noted.
Reaffirming that he will personally take the responsibility to take the State and the Telugu commun to number one position in the world, Chandrababu promsied to initiate measures to strengthen the poor economically. “I am assuring you all that the TDP will take the responsibility of everyone,” he added.
Since the State is in deep distress, the TDP supremo said and stated that this is the reason as to why the party has given the call of ‘Raa Kadali Raa’ keeping in view the welfare of five crore people. Ridiculing the campaign undertaken by Jagan in the name of ‘Sidhdham’ (ready), Chandrababu asked if Jagan is ready why the YSRCP leaders are running away from him. “In the interest of the State I am giving a call to the YSRCP leaders too as ‘Raa Kadali Raa,” the former chief minister maintained.
Stating that not even a single section of people are happy in Jagan’s rule, he promised to take the responsibility to come to the rescue of the aqua culture. Recalling that the TDP has successfully implemented loan waiver scheme, Chandrababu said that the State stood on top in debts by farmers while in second place in tenant farmers suicides.
Asking as to how Jagan, who closed the Anna Canteens can call himslef to be the saviour of the poor, he said that even schemes like Chandranna Kanuka, Videsi Vidya qnd subsidies to farmers are also withdrawn. Did Jagan not build palaces in Tadepalle, Bengaluru, Pulivendula and Hyderabad besides in Rishi Konda with Rs 500 cr, Chandrababu asked.
Maintaining that Jagan has miserably failed to implement the promises that he has made to the people like filling up of vacant posts and issuing ob calender, Chandrababu assured the youth that he will initiate all necessary measures to provide 20 lakh jobs to the youth, including filling up of vacant posts in various governemnt wings. “We will pay Rs 3,000 per month to each joblesss youth till he or she gets employment,” he added.
Chandrababu Naidu said that the coming TDP government will certainly give proper respect to the sarpanches and asked what happened to the promise made by Jagan on total prohibition. Jagan is allotting tickets only to those who use highly objectionable language against him and other TDP leaders, Chandrababu Naidu said and felt that such persons are not fit for politics.
