TDP days are numbered: Jagan

Krosuru Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday predicted that the YSRCP is all set to retain power in 2024 and the days of main Opposition TDP are numbered as people do not believe its plagiarized ‘khichdi’ election manifesto copied from other political parties.

Addressing a meeting here, he said people alone are his strength and he does not enjoy the support of other political parties. “You are my courage and confidence. Unlike the TDP which enjoys the support of a ‘gang of thieves’ and other political parties, I do not enjoy the support of any political party. But I don’t fear as I have your support and the blessing of God,” he said, exuding confidence in retaining power when elections are held in 2024.

TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu did not implement welfare schemes during 2014-19 when it was in power as he doesn’t have a generous heart, he said. “Since he has a capitalist mentality, he cheated all sections of society including women, farmers, SCs, STs, BCs, minorities and EBCs and never tried to implement welfare schemes which you are experiencing now,” he said.

Chandrababu Naidu is synonymous with backstabbing, conspiracy, cheating and lies, said the Chief Minister, adding he doesn’t have any achievements to his credit despite ruling the State for 14 years and hence people would not believe him. Naidu will close shop after the elections, he said.

He said that since Naidu is anti-poor, he doesn’t want the poor to develop. “For this reason only, he opposed English medium in schools and distribution of tabs to students. His nature is to make promises before elections and forget them post-elections. Not even a single area or section of society was benefited during this rule.”

28 years after becoming the Chief Minister and after 14 years of ruling, Naidu is coming out with declarations on Rayalaseema, BCs, SCs, STs, minorities and gas cylinders, he said, questioning why he did not make these declarations during the TDP rule.

“It is a war between the Government which is implementing DBT welfare schemes and TDP which has pursued the plunder, stash and devour policy. It is a war between pro-people Government and pro-capitalist TDP enjoying the support of foster son and friendly media,” he observed.

Asking the people not be misled by the vicious and malicious campaign of TDP and its friendly media, he asked the people to become his soldiers and bring victory to the YSRCP in the next elections if they believe they are benefited by the government welfare schemes.
