Question Naidu on not fulfilling promises: Jaganmohan Reddy

Visakhapatnam: YSR Congress president and Opposition leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has miserably failed in fulfilling his promises made before coming to power. Mr. Reddy was in Visakhapatnam district on Monday to participate in a series of programmes.

Launching a scathing attack on the TD government at a public meeting held at Munagapaka in the district, Mr. Reddy said the government failed in keeping its promises in every aspect, from waiving loans of the farmers and Dwcra groups to providing employment opportunities and doling out unemployment allowance. “None knows when the government would release a notification for vacant posts. The TD’s governance in the last two years had been an utter failure,” he said.

Mr. Reddy called upon the people to challenge Mr Chandrababu Naidu in terms of implementation of his poll promises. “People should question Mr. Naidu as to why he did not fulfill the promises made during the hustings. The YSR Congress leaders will support the public and fight till Mr. Naidu delivers his poll promises,” he added.

Mr Reddy visited Paalmanpeta and went to the houses of fishermen, who were allegedly injured by TD supporters. He described the attacks on the fishermen as a heinous act of the ruling TD government.

“We would support the victims and fight against the government on behalf of them. A group of TD supporters attacked the innocent fishermen, including women, and looted their houses. The policemen didn’t register a case against the TD men even after the victims complained against finance minister Yanamala Ramakrish-nudu’s brother Krishnudu. Adding insult to the injury, the police booked cases on the victims. We would drag the government to the court against these clashes. The government announced ex-gratia to all the victims but gave it it to only 2-3 persons,” Mr Reddy added.
