The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president and Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has dismissed the Opposition parties, more particularly the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party (JSP), as no entities and the end election result would be a ‘zero’ even if they forged alliances. “The YSRCP would have direct alliance with the people and has reposed faith in God. The achievements and good work done by the YSRCP government was enough to target all the 175 seats in coming elections,” he said.
Mr. Mohan Reddy was addressing party elected representatives, from mandal level to State level, meeting in Vijayawada on October 9. The meeting was organised to discuss the achievements and give a direction and guidance to the party representatives for the polls slated to be held in 2024.
Stating that he was surprised to see that the Opposition parties were craving to forge alliances, Mr. Mohan Reddy asked what would they achieve when the people were of the view that supporting TDP was like supporting crony capitalists. “Even as the elections were approaching, a party [JSP] founded about 15 years ago has no candidates to enter the election fray. Nor does it have workers at grassroot level to carry the party flag. Neither its flag flutters in the villages,” he said.
