Challenge to prove the consumption of Rs 3,62,56,700 worth of egg puffs

VIJAYAWADA: Former minister Perni Venkatramaiah (Nani) has expressed outrage at the Telugu Desam coalition government, stating that they were abandoning their promises to the people.

Speaking to the media at the party central office here on Wednesday, Nani criticised minister Nara Lokesh, reminding him of his pre-election promise to support tomato farmers. With farmers now forced to throw away their produce due to lack of market prices, Nani questioned whether Lokesh could even see the dire situation the farmers are in.

He alleged that the TD leaders were spreading false news and carrying out malicious propaganda against YSRC president and former chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy about the consumption of Rs 3,62,56,700 worth egg puffs during Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government.

He challenged the coalition government to prove the claim if it holds any truth.

The former minister said the TD coalition government was unable to digest the good work done by the YSRC government and spreading lies through social media.
