Do not fall prey to Naidu’s gimmicks: Jagan

Narpala (Anantapur dist): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday accused TDP national president N Chandrababu Naidu of resorting to frequent political gimmicks to hoodwink people telling that he is a changed person now, unmindful of the fact that he took all sections of society for a ride during his term.

Speaking at a meeting here he narrated the piece of a man-eating tiger from Panchatantra stories and asked people not to become victims of Naidu’s political dramas and antics again in the ensuing elections.

Like the man-eater which lures travelers into the sludge with false promises and devours them at leisure, Naidu is also trying to convince people that he has changed totally, he said and added that the old fox would never learn lessons of life.

Throwing satirical barbs at the TDP president, he referred to the poor quality of an interview given by Naidu to a TV channel recently and said the former Chief Minister is only trying to spread lies to cheat people once again. Like the man-eating tiger which gets old and throws baits to attract travelers to eat their flesh, the septuagenarian has attracted four foxes into his fold to spread lies and cheat the people again. Pursuing a policy of loot, stash and devour with the support of his ‘friendly media and foster-son,’ Naidu had cheated farmers, women’s self help groups, pensioners, unemployed youth and other sections of the society during his rule, charged the Chief Minister, adding that the old man is out to cheat people yet again by spreading lies and denigrating the Government and YSRCP.

Observing that the TDP president is playing games with the human memory to cheat people for electoral gains, he asked them not to be misled by his empty promises and lies. Unlike TDP rule, the YSRCP Government had so far spent Rs 2.08 lakh crore on the welfare of the people, he said, observing that YSRCP is committed to implement its promises.
