Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday appealed to the people of the State “not to believe the lies” against his government being propagated by the Telugu Desam Party president Nara Chandrababu Naidu, his “adopted son” Pawan Kalyan and the “yellow media” supporting them.
Addressing a public meeting at Nagari, in connection with the release of the III tranche of financial aid under the Jagananna Vidya Deevena scheme, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that Mr. Naidu had lost faith in the calibre of his son Nara Lokesh, and hence had been depending on actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan. “To come to power, Mr. Naidu is capable of resorting to such acts, conspiracies, rioting, and lies. I urge the people to realise the truth, and judge my government only by considering the benefits you are getting,” the Chief Minister said.
Despite becoming chief minister thrice, Mr. Naidu did not implement a single welfare programme worth mentioning, he said, and alleged that Mr. Naidu came to power by backstabbing N.T. Rama Rao and by following unscrupulous ways. “He is desperate to come back to power using provocation, conspiracies, riots, and unethical politics. The recent Angallu and Punganur incidents in Chittoor district are examples of Mr. Naidu’s mindset. When the police suggested that he should follow the route map permitted by them, Mr. Naidu had deliberately tried to violate the norms, and incited the party cadres, which led to injuries to 47 policemen, while one constable lost an eye,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said.
