People have made up their minds to vote for the BJP-JSP combine as they are disenchanted with both the YSR Congress Party and Telugu Desam Party, he asserts
Andhra Pradesh will have a ‘double engine government’ in 2024 as people are disenchanted with both the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), says BJP Rajya Sabha member G.V.L. Narasimha Rao.
The TDP had been rightly taught a lesson in 2019 and the YSRCP was clearly following in the same path of blaming the Central government for its follies, Mr. Narasimha Rao said while addressing the media here on Sunday.
On its part, the BJP would expose the failures of the YSRCP government by once again organising ‘Praja Poru Yatra’ from March 10. The yatra held late last year under the leadership of party State president Somu Veerraju was a tremendous success, and it was being replicated by the party in various States, he said.
Mr. Narasimha Rao said the YSRCP government was a complete failure and it was doing the same mistake of blaming the Centre for its ineptitude.
The State government was in such a pathetic situation that it was unable to pay salaries and pensions on time. Several projects came to a grinding halt as the State did not contribute its share of cost.
The TDP government had agreed to give funds to those projects, but its successor shirked from its responsibility, notwithstanding the fact that governance was a continuous process.
In the latest Union Budget, a sum of ₹4,800 crore was sanctioned for the railway projects. The industrial corridors remained non-starters as the State government paid little attention to them, he alleged.
