Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila on May 5 (Sunday) released ‘Nava Sandehalu’ (nine doubts) on the issue of price rise during the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) tenure in the State.
In a letter addressed to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, she demanded his explanation on his government’s failure to initiate effective steps to reduce the financial burden on the common man in view of the price rise in the last five years.
She said the Chief Minister had reneged on his promise to create a price stabilisation fund with a corpus of ₹3,000 crore to insulate the farmers from the steep fall in prices. He had promised that his government would not increase power tariff but had thrust a burden of ₹1,300 crore on the consumers, she alleged.
