TDP candidate Pemmasani Chandrasekhar promises to bring global companies to Guntur, create employment

TDP-JSP-BJP alliance candidate for Guntur Lok Sabha constituency Pemmasani Chandrasekhar has expressed confidence that he will win the elections with a thumping majority.

TDP-JSP-BJP alliance candidate for Guntur Lok Sabha constituency Pemmasani Chandrasekhar has expressed confidence that he will win the elections with a thumping majority.

The medical professional-turned-industrialist from the U.S.A. is making his political debut in the elections. Mr. Chandrasekhar, a native of Burripalem near Tenali, told The Hindu that he had interacted with more than 3.5 lakh people in the last two months. “Given the response I got, I am confident of winning the election,” he said.

Comparing the poll promises made in the U.S.A. and India, Mr. Chandrasekhar said, the political parties here think that doing more welfare increases the winning chances. “However, balancing welfare with development is very essential,” he said. 

Reiterating the TDP’s commitment to welfare, he said, “My goal is to bring more global companies to Guntur so that employment can be created which will help improve economic activity and contribute to the development of the region.”

Extreme polarisation and vote-bank politics will destroy the society, he observed.

“Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy ignored the irrigation projects, roads and infrastructure works. The government has to take care of farmers’ issues, construct projects, develop roads, construct houses and other pressing issues,” he said. 

The Guntur urban area would get sufficient tap water within eight to ten months after the elections, if the TDP-BJP-JSP combine is voted to power, he says.
