VIJAYAWADA: Alleging that the five-year rule of the YSRC is a nightmare for the people of the State, TDP supremo N Chandrabbau Naidu said the power-hungry Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy does not mind even to take away the lives of the people to remain in power. “Jagan is looting the State in all ways and the sand has become a money spinning business for him,” he said.
Addressing public meetings at Krosuru and Sattenapalli in Palnadu district as part of ‘Praja Galam’ on Saturday, the TDP chief said atrocities against all sections had gone up in the State in the past five years. A local YSRC leader called a Muslim woman a thief when she was returning home after performing Namaz at a local mosque. “When this has happened for an innocent Muslim woman, one can easily imagine what will be the fate of others,” he observed.
The TDP has been part of the NDA since 2014, no injustice was done to any Muslim during the previous regime. “I have come before you to assure you all full security as the people of the State are now more worried about their safety and security besides guarantee to their lives,” he said.
Naidu said he has come before the people along with the support of the Jana Sena Party and the BJP as he is keen to ensure that the anti-incumbency vote does not split. JSP chief Pawan Kalyan has already given a call to the people that they all should join hands to get rid of the YSRC. The TDP, the JSP and the BJP joined hands keeping in view the future of the people of AP, he asserted.
Stating that great injustice has been done for Muslims in the past five years during the YSRC rule, Naidu assured the community that he will personally take the responsibility of their safety and security. Calling upon the people to vote for the NDA for the future of the country and the State, he wanted everyone to take this as his assurance to them. “My thinking is always 20 years ahead of the youth. In 2000, I gave a call for Vision-2020 and I strongly feel that by 2047, the country will be number one in the world in development in all sectors,” Naidu observed.
The TDP supremo suspected that the Congress is making every effort to ensure that the YSRC votes are not divided. “Thalli Congress, the Congress and ‘Pilla Congress’, the YSRC has started enacting a new drama to split the anti-incumbency vote. The Congress is striving to benefit Jagan by splitting the anti-Jagan vote. If injustice is done to a woman, the issue should be settled within the residence but should not do injustice to the people,” Naidu remarked.
Pointing out that Narasaraopet MP candidate Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, who was with the YSRC till recently, had quit the party and joined the TDP as he wants Amaravati to be developed, Naidu said if the youth want jobs Babu should be back in power and if anyone wants ganja Jagan should be supported. Lauding the contribution of Pedakurapadu former MLA Kommalapati Sridhar to the party, Naidu said since Bhashyam Praveen has been fielded as the candidate, Sridhar will be given MLC post.
