-Jagan false promises destroyed poor people: Naidu
-TDP chief begins 3-day tour in Kuppam
-YSRCP rowdies crossing all limits
-TDP will give free OTS registrations in 2024
KUPPAM (Chittoor district): TDP National President and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday slammed Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy for making false promises ‘without constructing’ even 3 houses for the poor people of the State in the past 3 years.
Naidu recalled how Jagan Reddy promised over 25 lakh houses in the past and now is not opening his mouth on this. Moreover, the CM increased the rates of cement, sand and steel making it difficult for the poor families to complete their small houses on their own. The Government has not been paying any bills to the poor housing beneficiaries.
On the first day of his three-day visit to the Kuppam assembly constituency, the TDP chief addressed the local public at several places. He criticised the Chief Minister for not fulfilling
his housing promises while trying to take credit for the houses built during the TDP regime by changing their colours.
Naidu said the Government was saying that the OTS payments were voluntary. On the other hand, the volunteers were threatening that pensions and ration would be cut if the poor families would not pay OTS registration payments. The YSRCP rowdies were resorting to threats and the TDP cadres would cut their tails but would not be afraid of their intimidation.
Chandrababu Naidu cautioned that if the TDP had resorted to the same rowdyism and threats, the YSRCP would not have survived anywhere in the State. The police were showing over enthusiasm to victimise the opposition and the general public in order to please the political bosses. They would also face big problems. Already, the police were not getting DA and PRC. Nobody would get anything under this Government.
Naidu said that if Amaravati Capital City was developed by now, many more industries would have come and job opportunities would have multiplied in AP itself. Even the Kuppam youth would not have been forced to go to Bangalore for jobs and they would have got better opportunities here itself. When this was questioned, Advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy was hurling abuses on the TDP.
The TDP leader thanked the Kuppam voters for electing him as their MLA for the past 7 terms and for the last 35 years. The TDP has only developed facilities in Kuppam but the
YSRCP regime has only brought granite and liquor mafia. While the new Government in Tamil Nadu continued Amma Canteens there, the Jagan Government cancelled Anna Canteens in AP.
Chandrababu Naidu promised to give free registrations to the poor beneficiaries of housing schemes within one month after winning the next election. Even the Government and the volunteers were saying that the OTS was only voluntary. The YCP regime had no right to impose tax and financial burden on the poorer sections. The Government snatched Rs. 2,000 Cr of Abhaya Hastam. The DWCRA women’s savings were under threat.
Naidu said that the autorickshaw drivers, farmers, women, youth, SC, BC and all sections were suffering heavy losses ever since Jagan Reddy became CM. The NTR Sujala Sravanti drinking water schemes were destroyed. This regime has also crushed the Rs. 350 Cr Puttaparthi Satya Sai Baba drinking water project which used to serve 11 lakh people. The Government did not pay Rs. 10 maintenance cost resulting in a big blow to this project.
