Chandrababu Naidu was obstructing the implementation of welfare schemes aimed at benefiting the poor. Mr. Naidu was frequently approaching the courts on the welfare schemes being implemented by the government, he alleged addressing people at Markapuram in Prakasam district on Sunday.

On the 10th day of his Memantha Siddham Yatra, Mr. Jagan alleged that Mr. Naidu cannot digest if the poor have  access to the housing schemes. The YSRCP chief alleged that Mr. Naidu disrespects the farmers who get free power, and even tried to prevent English education for the poor. Mr. Naidu even said  that Andhra Pradesh would become Sri Lanka without any basis as he could not take the welfare schemes and development of poor in the right spirit, Mr. Jagan said.
