Challenging TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu to field candidates in 175 seats if he has guts, YSRCP MLA TJR Sudhakar Babu stated that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy fulfilled all poll promises and was asking the public to vote for YSRCP on the basis of welfare and development done to them.
Speaking to the media persons on Sunday, Sudhakar Babu said that Jagan Mohan Reddy was the first Chief Minister who said that ‘if you think I have done good, vote for me’ and are determined to win 175/175 seats. Sudhakar Babu asked the Opposition leader if he could field candidates for all the 175 constituencies and dared if there are any real candidates for TDP. How many candidates are seeking tickets for each seat?
The MLA alleged, “We are not opportunists like Chandrababu. We have no history of backstabbing the uncle (father-in-law). We have no history of snatching a political party from the founder (NTR). When you (Naidu) were the Chief Minister, your son Lokesh lost as MLA in Mangalagiri. You made him MLC in a shortcut. That is your history. The one you adopted Pawan Kalyan lost in two places. But, without seeing the background, CM Jagan made us represent in the legislatures as MLAs and MPs.”
He said that when CM Jagan Mohan Reddy decided to fight a war, he made changes and additions in some places as part of the strategy to win all the MLA and MP seats.
Asking how many BCs were given Rajya Sabha seats during Chandrababu’s 2014-19 tenure and how many SCs have been sent to Rajya Sabha.
MLA Sudhakar pointed out that CM Jagan has sent Golla Babu Rao from the SC community and four others from the BC community to the Rajya Sabha and that is SC and BC favouritism and courage.
