Jagan asks people not to be misled by TDP’s propaganda

Nagari (Chittoor Dist) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday called upon people not to be carried away by false propaganda of the Opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

Addressing a huge public meeting here, he alleged that TDP national president N Chandrababu Naidu, who had promised heaven to people before elections but pushed them towards hell after coming to power, doesn’t believe in his own party or his son. Hence, Naidu depends on foster-son and friendly media, for spreading lies and discrediting the government and ruling party. “Naidu’s friendly media is carrying him on its shoulders for selfish ends,” he said.

Objecting to Opposition’s propaganda that development in the State has taken a back seat, the Chief Minister said that development is tangible in introducing family doctor programme and village clinics for strengthening preventive health care, filling up of speciality doctor vacancies, construction of 17 new medical colleges, four new ports and 10 fishing harbours besides keeping the State at number 1 position in the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) for three years in a row. “Not even a single scheme comes to our mind when we think of the rule of Naidu who became Chief Minister thrice,” he said, adding the TDP chief is depending on lies, conspiracies and backstabbing for coming to power.

Reddy said it is preposterous that the very person who backstabbed NTR and usurped power from him is garlanding his portrait shamelessly for political gains.

The Chief Minister made fun of Naidu’s plans to lodge complaints to the Election Commission. “Culprits are speaking of lodging complaints against us,” he said, adding that the TDP chief has no respect for its own manifesto.

Naidu, who pursued the policy of plunder, stash and devour by cheating farmers, self-help groups, the unemployed, BCs, STs, SCs and minorities, is once again resorting to conspiracies and lies aiming at coming to power, he said.
