TDP president and former chief minister, Chandrababu Naidu, on Saturday said that the condition of the YSRCP is so pathetic that it is not getting even candidates to contest the upcoming polls and this clearly indicates that the time of this party is over.
Terming the upcoming elections as a Kurukshetra battle, Chandrababu Naidu expressed confidence that the TDP-Jana Sena combine is certainly going to emerge victorious in this war. Addressing a massive gathering at Peleru in the combined Chittoor district as part of the ongoing ‘Rea Kadali Raa’ programme, Chandrababu said that Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is now organising publicity campaign in the name of ‘Sidhdham’ (prepared) with the money looted in these five years.
All sections of the people, including the youth, women, and farmers, are now ready to defeat the YSRCP, he predicted that all the polls the YSRCP will certainly remove its flag. “Do the people need this YSRCP which has totally destroyed the State,” he asked and said that the war has already begun, and the people should get ready to face it. What kind of developmental activities are undertaken by Jagan in these five years and did he complete even a single project, he asked the people.
Even Peleru and Punganur too did not get water in these five years, Chandrababu said that as the son of this Rayalaseema soil he feels that Jagan is a traitor of the region. All the projects including Telugu Ganga, Galeru-Nagari and Handri-Neeva, all are completed only during the TDP regime, he said and stated that had the TDP continued in power the Godavari water would have been supplied to Banakacherla.
Expressing concern that 2,000 TMC feet of the Godavari water is going waste as the water is flowing into the sea, Chandrababu said that if this water is supplied to Rayalaseema the region will develop a lot. At least 40 persons were washed away in the Godavari floods due to the damaged caused to the Annmayya Dam while 450 houses were totally damaged, he asked whether the damaged dam is reconstructed. “What kind of justice is done for the victims of this. How the person who could not undertake simple repairs to the dam can claim to construct three capitals,” he asked.
Observing that Jagan has mastered the art of uttering lies, Chandrababu said that the Chief Minister gives Rs 10 from one hand and takes away Rs 100 from the other. What happened to the promise of total prohibition, he asked. The State is in deep distress with severe debt burden, Chandrababu asked who will relay these debts. “Will Mr Jagan repay the debts.”
Every section has suffered in YSRCP rule, he said “Jagan has said why not 175. I am asking from here why not Pulivendula,” he remarked. The TDP is the only party which knows good governance, he said and assured the people that the State will be taken forward to meet the goal of the late NT Rama Rao, the founder of the TDP.
Chandrababu Naidu promised to form district with Peleru, Punganuru, Madanapalle and Tamballapalle once the TDP-Jana Sena combine forms the coming government. He also assured the people of the region to supply water by completing the canals of Handri-Neeva and to resolve all the local issues on a war footing basis.
