Stating that Chandrababu Naidu came to power after backstabbing his father-in-law NTR, but did nothing for the people during his term, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the government had been striving for the welfare of all sections of people irrespective of party, caste, creed and community affiliations.
Addressing a public meeting here on Wednesday, the Chief Minister said that his government had distributed Rs. 2,10,000 crore in the past four years through DBT for the welfare of the people, unlike Chandrababu Naidu who pursued the policy of loot, stash and devour with the support of his friendly media and foster son Pawan Kalyan.
“While Naidu built his political career on the foundation of lies and cheating, YSRCP is building its political legacy by coming closer to people through the implementation of various welfare schemes for the benefit of all sections of society including students, farmers, women’s self-help groups and the poor,” he remarked.
While Naidu had no achievement to his credit, people can see the difference between TDP rule and now, he said, adding that the transformation was visible from village to district and from district to the State-level in shape of family doctors, RBKs, digital libraries, village and ward secretariats and broadband services everywhere.
Compared to the TDP rule, the borrowings made by the present government are also less percentage wise, he said. “When the present government is able to implement a slew of welfare schemes with the same budget as in TDP rule, why didn’t Naidu implement the same,” he asked, adding that it was because of the policy of looting public money the TDP followed with the support of its friendly media and foster son.
Making a mockery of Naidu’s claims of having forty years of experience, the Chief Minister said that Naidu used to lay foundations stones for various projects and offer new promises just before elections for cheating people and garnering votes.
Unlike Naidu, the present government had been working for a balanced development of all regions and welfare of all sections of society with transparency. Naidu had thrown the TDP election manifesto into the dustbin soon after the elections, but YSRCP considers its election manifesto as a holy book and has implemented its election promises up to 99 per cent, he asserted.
Reiterating that the YSRCP cadre can visit each household and seek the support of the people with confidence based on its performance of implementing various welfare schemes and its commitment to decentralised development of the State, he said the TDP had no achievements to its credit and Naidu and his men had no courage to seek the support of people.
Reasserting that his strength and confidence were the people and God, the Chief Minister asked them not to be misled by the vicious campaign of Naidu, his friendly media and his foster son. “The pro-people and pro-poor government is waging a war with the capitalists fully supported by their friendly media and foster son. But If you believe you have benefitted from the welfare schemes, you stand by YSRCP and work for its victory in the next elections,” he exhorted the people.
