Coming down heavily on the BJP-TDP political combo for unleashing a barrage of, YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has rebutted the duo’s promises of developing Andhra Pradesh and asked them why they did not translate these promises into concrete action while they were in power between 1999 and 2004.

Within hours of the completion of elections in Telangana, leaders of both the parties came to Seemandhra with tall promises and weaving a Utopian dream to the people. It was the same set of people that has voted in the Parliament alongside of Sonia Gandhi-led Congress to divide the state, he said while addressing a massive public meeting here on Friday.

“Sushma Swaraj has toured Telangana seeking votes in return for BJP’s support for helping in creating Telangana. She had even put forward the Matha-Mousi theory demanding her share of votes. Chandrababu Naidu, BJP and Congress are responsible for dividing the state. TDP has given a letter of consent and its floor leader along with BJP and Congress had voted for the bifurcation bill,” Jagan said.

The same set of people now come to Seemandhra and tells people that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is responsible for the division. Such opportunist and immoral politics should be rejected outright, YS Jagan said. The YSRCP chief has also pooh-poohed Modi’s tall claims about the petroleum deposits in KG Basin. It is Modi who has taken away our gas and he has no love lost for us. They only need votes and seats, he averred.

“Give us 25 MP seats and we will get all that we need from the Centre and ensure that the Prime Minister will care for our needs and aspirations, he appealed to the people.

Chandrababu Naidu has been speaking of waivers to a tune of 1.5 lakh crores which is not possible. He is also promising one job per family which he cannot implement as there are 3.5 crore families in the state. He has the record of closing down profit making PSUs and throwing people out of jobs.
