Accusing Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of cheating the people of Uttarandhra in the name of Visakhapatnam as Executive capital, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh alleged that three YSRCP leaders, Y.V. Subba Reddy, Botcha Satyanarayana and V. Vijaya Sai Reddy, have exploited all the resources and indulged in large-scale land grabbing in this region. He promised that after the TDP-JSP alliance forms the government, they would develop Vizag into an IT, financial and medical devices manufacturing hub.
Mr. Lokesh’s ‘Shankaravam’ campaign entered Visakhapatnam district on Saturday. While the first public meeting was conducted at Pendurthi Assembly constituency under the leadership of former MLA Bandaru Satyanarayana Murthy, the second public meeting was held at Bheemunipatnam under constituency in-charge Korada Rajababu.
During the meetings, Mr. Lokesh said that Vizag used to be the most happening city during the TDP government, but during the last five years, the city has seen a rise in crime, and ganja smuggling, while the YSRCP leaders had ‘‘ignored development and were involved in grabbing valuable lands’‘.
