VIJAYAWADA: Asserting that he never lost his temper even when YSRC chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy making derogatory remarks against him, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has said that the former is trying to get public attention by abusing him.“The Leader of the Opposition threatens to hang me and shot me and rob off my clothes and drown me in the Bay of Bengal. What kind of message is he sending to the society with such words? Several leaders in the past also hurled remarks against me. But, I never lost my temper,’’ he said.
Speaking to mediapersons at the Interim Government Complex in Velagapudi on Tuesday, he said that Chief Minister’s post is a system and pointed out that where is the guarantee for common public when there is no protection to the Chief Minister himself. Recalling the incident of a youth murdering a girl and her brother in Visakhapatnam for rejecting his love and later the maniac himself taking the extreme step, the Chief Minister sought to know whether Jagan was trying to install such an attitude among the public with such remarks.
“Once mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy and Jagan Mohan Reddy were considered as icons, but now their history is known to all,” he said. Explaining about the feedback got from the public through Parishkara Vedika (call centre 1100), he said there is increase in public satisfaction with regard to sand policy, liquor policy and setting up of the the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the Vizag land scam.
Stating that there are complaints from public over the increasing rates of sand in the name of labour and transport, Naidu said that the government came to knaow that sand is being transported to Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore cities where the demand is high. As each truck of sand being sold between `60,000 to `70,000, miscreants were transporting sand illegally to the neighbouring states.
