Reiterating that his government was pro-poor, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy exhorted the people of Andhra Pradesh “not to believe the falsehood being spread against the government by the opposition parties, but consider whether their households are benefitting from the welfare schemes.”
Addressing a public meeting at Yemmiganuru on October 19 before releasing another tranche of financial assistance under the Jagananna Chedodu scheme, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had unleashed a reign of corruption in the State.
“Though he had promised a debt waiver of ₹87,012 crore for the farmers and women groups, not even ₹5,000 crore was waived,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged. The zero-interest scheme was not implemented and the DWCRA groups were rendered useless during the TDP term, he added.
