Terming the Jana Chaitanya Yatra of TDP government as a deceptive exercise, the YSR Congress has said that party should wake up and act as Chandrababu Naidu has failed to fulfill his poll promises and there is neither reason nor a base for the Yatra.

"It is 18 months since Chandrababu Naidu took over as Chief Minister and not a single poll promise was fulfilled and the Jana Chaitanya Yatra has absolutely no meaning as the government has nothing to publicise other than failed promises and anti-people policies,’ party PAC member and spokesperson Ambati Rambabu told reporters on Tuesday.

"What message the government will be giving to the people during the Yatra as its 18-month term is laden with unkempt promises, failed assurances and decisions that were driven by nepotism. Be it the liquor policy or the mining policy it has been brought out with a selfish motive. Farmers, DWACRA groups, students, unemployed youth and other sections, who believed the TDP president at the time of the elections, are a disappointed lot now," he said.

On the proposed Kapu reservations, he said that there is no sincerity on part of the Government as it has announced only as a pre-emptive measure after a powerful Kapu leader has announced an action plan. On earlier occasion as well, Chandrababu Naidu had played the same game with Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) and to increase the limit of reservations, a constitutional amendment is needed.

All the talk about Kapu welfare is just an eyewash. If the TDP government is serious, it should announce Rs 2,000 crore fund for the welfare of Kapus which will bring credence to the government’s sincerity,’ he said.
