‘Next war between egoistic Jagan & self-respect of people’

Visakhapatnam: The upcoming battle in the next couple of months is between 'egoistic' Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, and the self-respect of the people, said TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh here on Sunday.

"How Jagan, who says that the coming election is between the poor and the feudals, can call himself as poor since he has assets worth lakhs of crores, the footwear that he wears are worth Rs 1 lakh, drinks Rs 1,000 worth of water bottle and who owns palaces in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Tadepalli, Idupulapaya and Visakhapatnam," Lokesh asked while addressing a huge public meeting in Visakhapatnam East Assembly segment during his ongoing 'Sankharavam'. Terming Jagan as a 'blatant liar,' Lokesh felt that Bharati Cements which is set up by looting the public money belongs to the people but not to Jagan."

The TDP leader said that the foundations of the palaces owned by Jagan are also laid on highly corrupt money and thus they too belong to the people. "The TDP-Jana Sena government which will be in place in another two months will seize these palaces and hand them over to the public," he declared.

The Yatra movie produced spending crores of rupees is not being watched even by the YSRCP MLAs, the TDP national general secretary said. He stated that the last journey for the YSRCP MLAs has begun.

"Jagan has silently grabbed the Krishnapatnam and Gangavaram ports resulting in 10,000 employees of the Krishnapatnam Port losing their jobs. Lands, hillocks and ports are no exception for these YSRCP leaders to occupy illegally," he remarked.

The revenue of Jagan through the sand mafia is Rs 3 crore per day and he has looted Rs 5400 crore in these five years, he said, adding that after the YSRCP came to power the cost of sand has gone so high.
