TDP senior leader Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, on Tuesday, said that the 1983 scenario would be repeated in 2024 in the State. Yanamala Ramakrishnudu told media persons that when the State was passing through a deep crisis in 1983, the people reposed faith in the Telugu Desam Party and a similar situation was now prevailing in the State. The criticism against the meeting of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan was a reflection of the insecurity in the YSRC leaders and the cadre.

He said that a demand was made to Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to come for an open debate on the financial condition of the State. He said that the total debt burden on the State beginning 1956, when Andhra Pradesh was formed, to 2014, was a mere Rs 2.56 lakh crore. But during the three-year rule of Jagan Mohan Reddy, the debt burden reached to a whooping Rs 8.50 lakh crore and it will reach Rs 11 lakh crore by that time Jagan demits office.

It is only the TDP, as a regional party, that played a key role in national politics, he said, adding that the party has been continuously winning the confidence of the people for the past 40 years. The welfare schemes launched by the Late NT Rama Rao are certainly a weapon for the TDP and whether the party is in power or not it always stands by the people, he observed.

Stating that the faulty policies of the YSRCP have totally caused destruction in the State, Yanamala felt that the people again want Chandrababu Naidu to come back to power. “The State could overcome several problems and efficiently face crises because of the efficient administration provided by Chandrababu and the TDP.”

He is of the opinion that Jagan is singing the song of three capitals only for his personal gain and to increase his assets but not in the interest of the people. Yanamala also feels that Pawan Kalyan is very active in the political arena and his party is still growing strong.

“If any party should survive, it should mend its policies according to the changing trends and the mind-set of the youth. The TDP continues to upgrade itself and the people have confidence only in Chandrababu Naidu,” he added.
