The 10-Point Questionnaire To Chandrababu

Hyderabad: Senior leader of YSRCP and former minister, Botsa Satyanarayana questioned what development had happened in the last 2 years except financial betterment of Chandrababu’s family. He spoke to the media at the party’s central office in Hyderabad. He spoke on the way Maha Sankalpa Sabha had been held at Kadapa. He questioned if the promises made prior to elections were not sankalpams (meaning intentions) and only unhindered corruption, misuse of authority and atrocities that had happened after he got into power were sankalpams. He released a 10-point questionnaire to Chandrababu on behalf of YSR Congress Party on account of completion of two years of Chandrababu’s governance.

1)   What happened to the waiver of farmers’ loans?

Have all the loans of farmers been waived? How many loans were there before you got into power? How many loans are still owed after these 2 years to the banks? How many loans did farmers get from the banks since ten years before you came to power? How many loans did farmers get after you came to power? Is it not true that you allocated only Rs.9000 crore for loan waiver, forgetting the Rs.87,612 crore earlier loans? The farmers who believed in your words and did not pay interest on their loans have been charged with late payment fees of Rs.30,000 crore. Is this a lie?

2)   How many DWCRA loans have been waived?

Have you waived at least one rupee of DWCRA loans? How many A-grade DWCRA units were there when you came to power? Now after 2 years how many are there?

3)   A job for every household or stipend of Rs.2000

How many jobs have you given? Who has been sanctioned unemployment stipend?

4)   What happened to the ‘Maha Sankalpam’ of special status?

When BJP suggested that special status should be given to AP for 10 years and not 5, you stated that 15 years of special status was more apt. Finally, how many years of special status has been given? Now you are trying to bluff that there was no mention of special status in bifurcation act. Then what is the situation of the hundreds of promises you made in your manifesto?

5)   What is the condition of Polavaram project?

You stated that Polavaram project would be completed in three years of your tenure. Two years have already gone. What is the situation of it? Is it the responsibility of the centre or the state to complete this national project?

6)   Is it true that AP’s GDP is a bogus?

In the numbers mentioned in budget, the revised estimates of the current financial year have to be stated. But you hid expenditures by not providing that information. Is it not true that the central Government called AP’s financial growth rate a bogus?

7)   Why are you afraid of CBI inquiry?

When YSR was the CM of the state of AP, he ordered for CBI inquiry immediately after you, as the opposition, demanded for it on Volkswagen, Outer Ring Road and Paritala Ravi’s murder. Neither the outer ring road nor the airport work nor PV Narasimha Rao Expressway stopped due to this inquiry. Then why are you posing objection towards the opposition YSRCP’s request for inquiry on capital area lands, lands of Amareswara temple, Pattiseema, industrial discounts and land allocations? Are you ready to face inquiry on the role of your son Lokesh and percentages in corruption?

8)   Is the 2-year rule not a nightmare?

Is it not true that you bought each of the opposition MLAs paying Rs.30-40 crore due to your inability to keep at least one of your promises, due to not doing at least one good thing to win people’s heart, due to absence of at least one scheme that reminds you and due to practicing a number of atrocities?

9)   Is it not true that you degraded the honour of the assembly?

Is it not true that you resorting to blaming and accusing the opposition leaders to cover up your purchase of opposition MLAs, encouragement of party defection, negligence to disqualify party defectors, prevention of opposition YSRCP from issuing whip, defying constitutional procedure of acceptance of appropriation bill and inability to answer people’s questions? Is this not degradation of the assembly’s honour?

10)  Is it not your voice that was recorded during Note for Vote case?

When Telangana MLA Revanth Reddy was caught while buying MLAs’ votes, was it not your voice that was recorded? Is it not a punishment for the people of the state to be tolerating you as the CM even after you were caught so miserably? Is it not true that you mortgaged the benefits of the state as well as River Krishna and River Godavari to KCR, given no charge sheet has been filed against you and you managed to escape all inquiries?

Botsa appealed to all the people, media and intellectuals to think about these issues.
