Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said on March 10 that while only parties and leaders were with Telugu Desam Party national president Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the YSR Congress Party had the support of the people. He was reacting to the alliance of the Telugu Desam Party, Bharatiya Janata Party and Jana Sena Party that was announced on March 9.
Addressing the Siddham (Ready) meeting at Medarametla on March 10, Mr. Jagan expressed confidence of winning 175 Assembly constituencies and 25 Parliamentary Constituencies in the ensuing general elections. Stating that he had been fighting against the TDP alliance and its supporting media, the Chief Minister urged the people to support him in the elections to deliver more welfare schemes for the benefit of the poor and eligible families across the State. He said that voting for TDP alliance was nothing but losing all the existing welfare schemes like Amma Vodi, Rythu Bharosa and others.
