Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N Chandrababu Naidu has felt that the fear of losing power is haunting the Chief Minister, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, and thus he is changing the sitting candidates from their respective segments. Speaking to the media persons, Naidu said that even if the YSRCP changes all the 150 sitting MLAs, YSRCP will not win the coming polls as the people are ready to send Jagan home.
The Michaung cyclone caused heavy damage to the State, particularly to the farming community, standing crops in 22 lakh acres in 15 districts got totally damaged. Despite knowing pretty well in advance the State Government adopted a negligent attitude, he said and added that if some preventive measures had been taken the damage would have been controlled to a large extent.
The Government is neglecting the projects and the classic example is that the Annamayya Project is washed away while the Government did not bother about it, Chandrababu said and added that this Government is still functioning most irresponsibly.
He felt that crop insurance is very important for the farmers but the Government has not taken any steps towards this for the past four years and did not pay the installments.
The tenant farmers are the worst hit in this cyclone, he said, adding that the TDP leaders and the cadre assessed the ground situation and submitted reports after talking to the local farmers. Pointing out that the TDP demanded the building of houses for those who lost their shelter in this cyclone, Chandrababu asked why this Government was not responding to such demands even from the public.
Regretting that this Chief Minister has destroyed all the systems, including roads, drainage, agriculture, irrigation and drinking water, Chandrababu said that the condition is so pathetic that proper food is not being supplied to the hostel inmates. Chandrababu Naidu made it clear that the TDP will stand by the Anganwadis who are on an agitational path and felt that the more the efforts to suppress the agitation the more the agitations will get intensified.
