Jagan slams Opposition for cheap politics

Avanigadda: In a scathing attack on the Opposition parties, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday took strong objection to their abusive language as they have no achievements to tell while the government on the other hand is pursuing with its welfare agenda.

Addressing a huge public meeting here, he said while the State is going ahead with three-capital plan keeping in mind decentralisation and development of all areas equally, self-proclaimed leaders are advocating three marriages and shamelessly resorting to abusive language and showing slippers publicly on TV channels indulging in cheap politics.

Reddy wondered whether such leaders can be of any help to the people. What would happen to the self-respect of women if these leaders are to be followed, he asked. Such leaders, who have nothing great to claim about themselves cannot guide people and the society. It is very clear that Chandrababu Naidu has instigated the adopted son, he said in an oblique reference to Jana Sena founder Pawan Kalyan.

Back-stabbers and leaders who change colours like chameleons at election time and their friendly media have ganged up against the government by forming unholy alliances to take on him, lone Jagan.

Observing that the coming 19 months will witness a continuous war between the pro-people government and the yellow gangsters who have formed opportunistic alliances, the Chief Minister expressed confidence that people will fully stand by him to thwart their attempts.

It is going to be the war between the poor and the capitalists, between the good and the evil and between advocates of social justice and the people dividing the society, he said. Asking the people to keep away from slanderous propaganda, he said they should introspect whether they are benefitted or not by the welfare schemes of the government.
