APCC president Y S Sharmila on Thursday blamed her brother and chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for distancing everyone after becoming the chief minister. She said that several people in the state have made several sacrifices to make Jagan as the chief minister. However, after becoming the chief minister Jagan had distanced everyone including the family members, she said.
Speaking to the party workers at Kakinada, Sharmila said that Jagan Mohan Reddy is the reason for dispute and disturbance in the family. She said that God, her mother Vijayamma and other family members are witnesses to this. She found fault with Jagan for blaming the Congress for the dispute in the family.
She said that she had walked for 3,200 kilometres for Jagan Mohan Reddy. She worked for the YSRCP leaving her family and children aside. She was on the roads for several days only for Jagan, she said and regretted that Jagan Mohan Reddy had done nothing for her. She said that Jagan had changed after becoming the chief minister.
She blamed Jagan for supporting the BJP at the national level. She wondered how the BJP is able to control the AP politics even without a single MP or MLA from the state. She said that the YSRCP was sold out to the BJP and had done injustice to the people of the state.
She blamed Jagan Mohan Reddy for not fighting for special category status. She wondered why the chief minister was silent on the key issue. She said that Jagan had promised the people that he would fight for special category status. However, after coming to power, Jagan Mohan Reddy forgot his promise.
Sharmila also blamed Jagan Mohan Reddy for giving up the ideals of their father late Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy. She said that except the name there was nothing that this government was doing to fulfil the promises of the late leader. She wondered why Jagan Mohan Reddy did not develop three capitals. Taking strong exception to the three capitals plan, she wanted to know why the chief minister had failed to develop even a single capital in five years.
The APCC president said that agriculture is completely neglected in the Jagan Mohan Reddy dispensation. While agriculture was a festival during Dr Rajasekhar Reddy’s regime, it had become a curse during Jagan Mohan Reddy regime.
