Naidu says YSRCP talk on united AP to divert attention from serious issues

Vijayawada TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday expressed serious concern over rising number of farmers suicides in the State.

In a tweet, he stated that without focussing on such serious public issues, it is really ridiculous that the State Government is again talking about united Andhra Pradesh. The State that created history once in the progress of agriculture and aquaculture has recorded 1,673 suicides by farmers in the past three years, he said.

The anti-farmer policies being adopted by the State Government is throwing the agriculturists into deep debt burden, he said, adding that lack of Minimum Support Price (MSP) and withdrawal of subsidies are forcing them to commit suicides.

Naidu alleged that the State Government is adopting a vengeful attitude towards the common man and is harassing the people for no reason, which is also resulting in a large number of people taking away their lives, he regretted.

When such serious issues are haunting the people throwing them into disappointment and depression, the YSRCP Government, instead of focussing on them, is irresponsibly making statements on united Andhra Pradesh, which is not in their hands.

He said this is nothing but to throw the public into utter confusion and also to divert the public attention from these serious issues.

The YSRCP leaders who did not open their mouth on the funds that are due to the State as per the provisions of the State Reorganisation Act, are now making statements on united Andhra Pradesh only to misguide the people on its failures, he observed.
