Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu said on January 5 that the past glory of Andhra Pradesh would be restored only if the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) was defeated in the upcoming elections, and that it was not just his and Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan’s responsibility, but of the five crore people of the State.
Addressing a well-attended public meeting organised as part of the TDP’s ‘Raa Kadali Raa’ programme, at Kanigiri in Prakasam district, Mr. Naidu said Andhra Pradesh was lagging behind other States due to the failures of YSRCP government, which gave “₹10 to the people with one hand and robbed them of ₹100 with the other.” But the people were in a bind having elected the YSRCP by yielding to the “one chance” plea of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
He called upon the people to compare the performance of the TDP and YSRCP governments, and then to a conclusion on which party was committed and better equipped to end their woes.
