Jagan plays BC card in Kuppam, says Naidu used them for his political gain

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the Telugu Desam Party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, despite his 45 years of political life and being Chief Minister for 14 years, had only squeezed the backward classes for his political mileage but kept boasting about social justice.

Addressing a public meeting in connection with the launch of the III phase of the YSR Cheyutha scheme at Animiganipalle in the Kuppam Assembly constituency on Friday, the Chief Minister termed Mr. Naidu as a “non-local” to Kuppam, and a local of Hyderabad, who had neither a house nor a vote in Kuppam.

During his maiden visit to Mr. Naidu’s bastion, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy repeatedly referred to his political rival as “Peddamanishi” in a sarcastic tone, while terming himself as “Mee Bidda” (your son).
