CM Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that Chandrababu Naidu and his political and media allies were trying to defame his government
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on November 23 urged people not to give another political chance for former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu as he ‘grabbed’ power from his father-in-law N.T. Ramarao, who was the founder of the Telugu Desam Party.
He alleged that Mr. Naidu and his political and media allies were trying to defame his government. Mr. Reddy formally distributed certificates to beneficiaries under YSR Jagananna Saswata Bhu Hakku-Bhu Raksha Pathakam in Narasannapeta of Srikakulam district. The scheme was aimed to provide hassle-free property rights to 7,92,238 persons in 20,000 villages across the State.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Reddy said that only N.T. Rama Rao and M.G. Ramachandran and he (Jagan) were directly blessed by the people but Mr. Chandrababu indulged in political grabbing while backstabbing N.T. Ramarao. Indirectly referring to Mr. Naidu’s recent request to the people for ‘last political chance’, Mr. Reddy urged the people not to give him another opportunity as the latter always worked only to benefit a few sections of the society.
He said that Mr. Naidu and his adopted son (Mr. Pawan Kalyan) were trying to defame YSRCP Government with the support of a few media houses. “We request the people to verify whether they were directly benefited or not. This is the only parameter for them to take a wise decision in next elections. The people should not consider Mr. Naidu since he acts like Duryodhana as far as people’s welfare is concerned,” said Mr. Reddy.
Speaking about the YSR Jagananna Bhuhakku scheme, he said that it was one of greatest welfare programme which would ensure hassle-free property rights with perfect documentation. He thanked Survey of India, Revenue, Panchayatraj, Municipal and Registration departments for working with tandem in implementation of the scheme at ground level. He hoped that the survey would be completed very soon as the government provided training for 10,185 surveyors in overcoming hurdles in the implementation of the scheme.
The Chief Minister added that all the 11,000 wards and village secretariats would function like sub-registrar offices for the registration of properties. He said that the creation of 13 new districts and 25 revenue divisions would be a great boon for the people as they would get government services in their vicinity.
Minister for Revenue Dharmana Prasada Rao said that all sections of the society were with the YSRCP Government as they were satisfied with welfare and developmental activities. He alleged that the Opposition parties were creating hurdles for the three capital proposals. He urged people to teach a lesson to TDP and other parties. Former Deputy Chief Minister and Narasannapeta MLA Dharmana Krishnadas and Collector Shrikesh B. Lathkar spoke in the public meeting.
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
