CM Jagan Plays Down Threat from TD and JS in Next Elections

Vijayawada: Reasserting that the YSRC is the heartbeat of the poor, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy came down heavily on the Telugu Desam and Jana Sena on Friday, saying there is no noticeable threat from the TD and JS to his party in the next round of elections.

“The YSRC will, all alone, take on the pack of political wolves in the next elections after 10 months.”

Addressing a huge public meeting at Mallayapalem in Gudivada on Friday, the Chief Minister said that the opposition parties “do not have even candidates.” Do not equated these parties with the YSRC that took its birth from the aspirations of the people, he said.

He said, “The politics of the YSRC is linked to the aspirations of the people while TD and Jana Sena are engaged in political gimmicks and mischievous and malicious campaigns with help from their friendly media.”

Coming down heavily on Jana Sena president Pawan Kalyan, the CM said the package star, who has sacrificed his life for serving the TD, is drawing immense pleasure out of it from his Varahi vehicle.

“15 years after forming his political party, the Jana Sena leader is unabashedly claiming that he would enter the Assembly after the next elections and that no one can stop him,” said the Chief Minister, mocking at Pawan’s recent statements.

The Chief Minister also made fun of Chandrababu Naidu’s appeals to the people to give him another chance. “Naidu can’t dare seek votes for what he had done to the people the last time. He had no achievements to his credit despite his long political career of 40 years.”

“Naidu didn’t implement welfare schemes during this term and opposed distribution of house sites to the poor in the CRDA region as he is anti-poor. The YSRC government began introducing reforms in every sector within six months of its assumption of power. We spent ₹2.16 lakh crore on various welfare schemes in the last four years and brought revolutionary changes in most sectors,” the Chief Minister claimed.

“Take the welfare benefits you have received as the yardstick and stand by me in the next elections as my sister, mother, father, grandfather and brother and bring victory to the  YSRC as I depend on you fully,” Jagan Mohan Reddy urged the people.
