Vote for credibility : Jagan

Reiterating that the election is a battle between politics of credibility and honesty on one side and politics of conspiracy and opportunism on the other, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has appealed to the people to reject the forces that have been doling out impossible and hyperbolic promises and vote for YSRCP fan symbol to usher in YSR welfare state. 

Addressing a large gathering as part of his YSR Jana Bheri in Kurnool on Monday, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said: “I appeal you to vote for safeguarding the Telugu pride which will take its due pride at the Centre and dust away those forces that are willingly scrambling to obey the Delhi dictates. 

We will win all the MP seats and show our might to Delhi and bring enough funds to develop the State from Centre without being submissive unlike TDP which has surrendered to BJP for the sake of votes and seats and has again shown its ugly face of opportunism,” he said. 

YSR is remembered by the people even today as his welfare schemes could reach out to the people and after his death credibility and honesty became a rare commodity in the state polity. (Opposition plays dirty, cuts YS Jagan's mike wires)

Chandrababu Naidu, who has reversed all the TDP poll promises like increasing the price of Rs 2 kg rice, lifting of prohibition and allowing belt shops to sprout across the state, is again coming to people with false promises. He has a proven record of forgetting all the promises after elections. 

This time around his dichotomy has been blatant. The person who made snide remarks on YSR free power while he was chief minister has started promising free power. The person who spoke of ill of farmers and never even thought of waiving interest on loans is now coming up with an impossible promise of waiving agriculture loans. 

He is only fooling people with this rhetoric. The recently held State-level Bankers’ Meeting has pegged to total agriculture loans in the state at Rs 1.27 lakh cores. Added to this is the DWACRA loans of over Rs 20,000 crores which aggregate to Rs 1.50 lakh crores. 

Chandrababu Naidu has no magic wand to waive such a huge amount. The state budget itself is less than the amount he promised to waive. He is only deceiving people by making false promises. After his announcement has drawn the flak, he has unleashed his henchmen to use their lung power to advocate that the total agriculture loans are about Rs 10,000 to Rs 30,000 crores. These estimates to do not match the authentic figure worked out at the Bankers’ Meet and still Naidu is going ahead with the loan waiver promise which is not possible to implement.

Another testimony to his hyperbolic talk is the one job per family scheme. There are 3.5 crore families in the state and it is impossible to provide employment in that scale. He is only misguiding and luring people to seek votes. 

Naidu’s sudden interest of employment generation is questionable as he has the history of closing down 65 PSUs and rendering 26,000 employees jobless and he was the person who has brought in the culture of contract employees in to government, he said. 

I cannot bluff like Naidu as I have to be in public life for over 30 years from now. He can to afford to tell lies of any intensity as this is the last election for him. 

The moment I assume office, I will sign five files which I have been telling and take up six issues announced by me which will change the course of the State. I appeal you to elect the right candidate and vote for YSRCP fan symbol for a bright future and a welfare state, he said.
