Launching a scathing attack on the opposition parties over the possible alliance between the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Jana Sena Party (JSP), Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy on May 16 (Tuesday) dared TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu to contest the 2024 elections on his own.
“Mr. Naidu is known for his opportunistic alliances. He has no guts even to hold public meetings in open grounds. He is preferring narrow lanes for his meeting that are causing frequent stampedes in which poor people are losing their lives. The TDP is on ventilator support,” the Chief Minister said while addressing a public meeting at Nizampatnam on Tuesday.
He said that the opposition parties were not able to digest the fact that poor and downtrodden sections such as BCs, SCs, STs and minorities were receiving direct cash benefits, without giving any scope for corruption and favouritism.
