Jagan cheated youth: Yanamala

PNS|AMARAVATI

Former finance minister and the TDP politburo member,r Yanamala Ramakeshnudu, on Sunday termed the Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, a fraud who took the youth in the State for a ride.

Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, in a press note released here, felt that the ruling YSRCP is only making attempts to cover up the anger that is growing among the youth. The former Finance minister is of the opinion that if any obstructions are created for the ‘Yuva Galam’, the pada yatra of TDP national general secretary, Nara Lokesh, it amounts to blocking the future of the youth in the State.

” Jagan Mohan Reddy has made several promises to the youth while in Opposition but after coming to power he totally forgot these assurances given to them. Even the welfare of the youth and their future was completely given a goby,” Yanamala observed.

Jagan did not stand by his promise that he would release a job calendar every year to fill the vacant posts in various government departments, he said and asked what happened to the assurance given to the unemployed that three lakh vacancies would be filled. Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said that the youth, particularly those belonging to the SC, ST and Minority sections, lost employment opportunities after Jagan came to power.

Maintaining that the youth were getting employment opportunities during the Chandrababu Naidu regime through certain special schemes, he said that Jagan discontinued all such schemes soon after coming to power. “The Chief Minister even deceived the youth by not fulfilling his promise made to them that he would pay unemployment allowance,” Yanamala said.

These are the reasons why Lokesh is undertaking his pada yatra in the name of ‘Yuva Galam’ through which he is planning to have first-hand information on the problems that the unemployed youth are facing, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said. But, Jagan and his gang are hatching a conspiracy only to create hurdles to the pada yatra and the release of the GO No-1 is only part of this plot, he felt.

“As the issue of the GO No-1 is pending before the High Court, now Jagan is making efforts to create obstructions to the pada yatra through the Director General of Police (DGP). The letter from the DGP is only part of this game,” he stated.

The police should remember that the anger against the State Government, particularly Jagan, will come out despite the repressive methods, Yanamala felt and made it clear that if any attempt is made to obstruct the pada yatra, the youth will come forward to lead it. Attempts are being made by the YSRCP to cover up the anger among the youth, he added.

Making it clear that as per the provisions of the Constitutions the citizens have the fundamental right to organise meetings and programmes but the style of functioning of the Jagan Reddy Government appears to be that such fundamental rights are being suppressed. The provisions of the Constitutions have given the right to every leader to bring awareness among the public on the anti-people policies but this Government is stifling the voice of everyone, he added.

The unwanted questions raised by the DGP for the Yuva Galam clearly indicate that the countdown has begun for the Jagan Reddy Government, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said. The former Finance minister wanted both the State Government and the DGP to realise the fact at least now and extend democratic rule to the people of the State without causing any obstructions to the Yuva Galam.
