TD and JS have no right to ask votes in Rayalaseema and North Andhra, says YSRC

 Vijayawada: The state-level Trade Promotion Corporation chairman and YSR Congress official spokesperson K Ravi Chandra Reddy has said Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan totally surrendered to Telugu Desam president Nara Chandrababu Naidu for a “package” and hence the JS is supporting the TD in the coming general elections.

Addressing the media here on Monday, Ravichandra Reddy said the AP government led by chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy stood as an example for other states by adopting a most-transparent governance model.

He said decentralisation was an article of faith for the YSRC government. It aimed at giving priority to comprehensive development of the backward areas of North Andhra and Rayalaseema along with the coastal regions.

The TD and Jana Sena have no right to seek votes in north Andhra and Rayalaseema as these two parties were pleading the case of Amaravati as the state capital. “These parties want to spend all the money from the state exchequer for Amaravati by ignoring the cause of decentralised development,” he said.

He alleged all the relations between Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan were linked to the “package”. Whenever they meet, "the discussion is about how much package should be given to Pawan Kalyan from TD,” he said.

“There however is some problem between them over the package and that is why Pawan Kalyan is not attending the closing meeting of Yuvagalam headed by Chandrababu's son Lokesh.” Pawan Kalyan sold out the self-respect of the Kapu community to Naidu and TD, Ravinchandra Reddy alleged.
