A.P. elections: Winds of change blowing against YSRCP, says Chandrababu Naidu
The Hindu
Winds of change blowing against YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh, says Chandrababu Naidu. The TDP-BJP-JSP alliance, if voted to power, will complete Kadapa steel plant and irrigation projects in Rayalaseema region, says Chandrababu Naidu. The alliance government will reintroduce the free sand policy and strengthen the volunteer system, he adds. He promises to make Andhra Pradesh a ‘ganja and drugs-free State’ within 100 days of coming to power.
A wind of change that is no longer favourable to the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) is sweeping across Kadapa district and its defeat in the Rayalaseema region is certain, observes TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Addressing the Praja Galam public meeting at Proddatur in Kadapa district on March 30 (Saturday), Mr. Naidu lambasted Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for not doing anything for the development of the district in the last five years.
“Can you (Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy) tell us what you have done for Kadapa during your term?” Mr. Naidu asked, and referred to the projects such as steel plant and irrigation projects that were “confined to rhetoric” to prove his point.
“The Kadapa steel plant project has been confined to laying stones. Had I been the Chief Minister, I would have completed the project by now,” Mr. Naidu said.
Similarly, had irrigation projects been completed, there would have been tremendous development in the Rayalaseema region, he observed.
“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy knows only the politics of murder, and the people of Andhra Pradesh are eager to vote him out,” Mr. Naidu said.
Referring to the candidature of incumbent YSRCP Member of Parliament Y.S. Avinash Reddy from Kadapa again, Mr. Naidu said, “It is shame on the part of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy to field a person who is an accused in the murder of his paternal uncle and former MP Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy and seek votes in the constituency.”
