Day 3 Memantha Siddham: Taking a strong exception to TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu's disparaging remarks against the YSRCP’s candidate Veeranjaneyulu from Singanamala assembly constituency, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the latter is more educated than the TDP leader.

Earlier, Naidu had mocked an SC leader Veeranjaneyulu, saying the ruling party has fielded a 'tipper driver' from Singanamala constituency, which is a Scheduled Caste reserved constituency in Anantapur district.

Addressing a massive public meeting on day 3 of Memantha Siddham bus yatra, CM Jagan said Naidu’s disdain for the SC community is exposed. Highlighting the unemployment during Naidu’s government, the chief minister said Veeranjaneyulu studied M.A. (Economics) and later did B.Ed. but he was forced to become a tipper driver as he could not find a job.

CM Jagan further said out of 175 assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats, the YSRCP allotted 50 percent seats to SCs, STs, BCs, and minorities and this shows the party's social justice for the political empowerment of the marginalised communities. He also denounced the elitist mentality of Naidu and said he stands for poor while the TDP leader is for the rich and influential people.
