Tirupati public meeting a TDP show: YSRC

TIRUPATI: Panchayatraj minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy has maintained that there were no farmers from Amaravati at Friday’s public meeting in Tirupati. “It was entirely opposition Telugu Desam’s show,” he stated.

Speaking to media at the Tirupati Airport, Ramachandra Reddy reiterated that YSRC government is committed to formation of the three capitals. He maintained that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is currently focussing on development of three regions of the state. “The CM will soon come up with a comprehensive bill in this regard, which will be introduced in the State Legislative Assembly,” he said.

The minister refuted TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu’s remark that Chief Minister has taken a U-turn on establishment of capital in Amaravati. “TDP leaders are frustrated over land rates in Amaravati dropping. Hence, they are making such statements,” he said.

Ramachandra Reddy described as unethical Congress, BJP and CPI sharing a common stage with TDP. He said Naidu is making serious efforts to form an alliance with BJP once again. “However, YSR Congress will always fight alone. CM Jagan is against forming any unethical political alliances,” he said.

The minister continued with his refrain that agitation by farmers of Amaravati is a fake movement, as there are no farmers but only those who have purchased lands there hoping to reap enormous profits.
