AP polls is Kurukshetra battle between pro-poor YSRC govt and scamsters: CM Jagan
On the sidelines of a programme in Vijayawada, the Chief Minister accused the Opposition parties and the TDP in particular of indulging in scams and social injustice
Equating the upcoming assembly election in the state to a 'Kurukshetra' battle, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said it will be a fight between his pro-poor government on one side and opponents who allegedly indulged in scams on the other side.
On Friday (September 29), at the sidelines of a programme in Vijayawada, the Chief Minister drew multiple analogies between the ruling YSRC and the Opposition parties.
“The battle of the next elections is between our government which did good for all communities on one side and our opponents on the other side who have a history of social atrocities and who inflicted regional injustice,” said Reddy, addressing a public meeting.
Jagan Reddy observed that the ruling party considered its election manifesto as a holy book such as the Bhagvad Gita, Bible and Koran to fulfill 99 per cent of the promises, while the Opposition parties allegedly brought in their manifesto during polls to hoodwink people and then dump it in the dustbin.
Against TDP
Targeting the Telugu Desam Party, the Chief Minister Jagan alleged that it needs power not to do good but plunder the state.
Cautioning people not to fall for their alleged false promises in the run-up to the next election, Reddy also asked them to take into account the benefits extended to their families by the incumbent government.
In this battle between the rich allegedly represented by his opponents and the ‘government of the poor’, the Chief Minister sought people’s blessings for one more opportunity to do more good things.
Earlier, the Chief Minister disbursed ₹276 crore under the 'YSR Vahana Mitra' scheme to eligible autorickshaw drivers and others.
