Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that a vote for the Telugu Desam Party would mean “termination of all welfare schemes for the poor and downtrodden.”
Addressing an election meeting at Palamaner, 40 km from here, on Saturday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy maintained that during his 59 months of governance, 2.3 lakh jobs were created, and ₹2.7 lakh crore was transferred to the beneficiaries of the DBT schemes. Terming this as historic, Mr. Jagan said that TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu was making “unheard of and unbelievable promises” with the intention of coming back to power. People were not ready to believe the gimmicks of Mr. Naidu, he said.
The Chief Minister said that the TDP chief had only been repeating his 2014 manifesto, “a bunch of lies” this time also. By promising to waive crop loans and DWCRA loans, Mr. Naidu had betrayed them Mr. Jagan said, adding his promise of creating a ₹10,000- crore Sub-Plan for the backward classes was an eyewash.
