Nadda's jibe at YSRCP for nepotism, praises 'double engine ki sarkar'

Visakhapatnam: Promising all-round development of Andhra Pradesh under the 'double engine ki sarkar,' BJP national president and Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Sunday came down heavily on YSRCP for its failure to provide good governance.

He was addressing a huge public meeting here at the railway grounds to mark the conclusion of BJP State president PVN Madhav's district tours named 'Sarathyam Yatra.'

He said during the previous regime in the State, corruption and nepotism became the hallmark. He said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu with the support of NDA Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is accelerating the development in the State to improve the livelihood.

He said Modi's dynamic stewardship will position India as the third largest economy of the world and took Congress to task for not focusing on public welfare.

Stating that BJP had put a full-stop to dynamic rule after coming to power in 2014, he said with 14 crore members, the BJP has emerged as the world's largest party amid thunderous applause from the activists of the saffron brigade.

He said "today the BJP-led NDA has 240 Lok Sabha MPs, around 1500 MLAs and over 170 MLCs," and declared that Modi has ushered in a new era of development in the world's largest democracy.

Nadda claimed credit for the NDA for creating South Coast Zone (SCoR) with the headquarters of the railway zone in Visakhapatnam, sanctioning massive expansion of National Highway, several new ports, premier educational institutions and unveiling revival package for Visakhapatnam Steel Plant.

The BJP national president said the Centre had facilitated a financial support of Rs15,000 crore for development of capital city Amaravati.

Harping on 'Sab ka saath, sab ka vikas and sab ka viswas,' he said the Central Government under the leadership of PM Modi has kept the promises in abolishing Article 370 and banning treble talaq. The GST reforms will benefit all sections of people.
