Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) leaders on June 6 demanded that Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy speak up against the injustice meted out to the people of Andhra Pradesh by the BJP government at the Centre.
At a press conference held at Andhra Ratna Bhavan, the APCC working president Janga Gowtham said it was imperative for the Chief Minister to ‘’unmask” the BJP to prove that he was not playing into the hand of Modi-Shah duo. He accused the BJP government at the Centre of depriving people of Andhra Pradesh of their rightful share of development in the last nine years.
He said it was an irony that the BJP’s national president J. P. Nadda and Union Home Minister Amit Shah were visiting Srikalahasti on June 10 and Visakhapatnam on June 11 respectively to tell people of the State about how the Centre had been helping people of the State by extending financial assistance for implementation of developmental and welfare projects. Mr. Gowtham said the Congress party would question the BJP leadership on behalf of the five crore population of Andhra Pradesh on its failure on all fronts.
