Babu Is Behaving Like A Beggar

• Babu trashing the state’s benefits
• AP mortgaged at the feet of Modi
• Cock and bull stories narrated in the past two years
• State deteriorating due to Babu’s ways: Ambati Rambabu

Hyderabad: YSRCP’s official spokesman Ambati Rambabu complained that Chandrababu, in spite of being the CM of the state to protect its benefits, had been behaving like a beggar and mortgaging the benefits to the centre. He criticised that Babu had miserably failed to get the promises mentioned in the reorganization act realised, in spite of TDP being a partner in the alliance at the centre. He mentioned how the state had deteriorated due to the robbery committed by Chandrababu and Lokesh. Ambati suggested that Babu fought with the centre at least now for the funds and the rights deserved by the state, speaking to the media at the party’s central office at Lotus Pond in Hyderabad.

This is what he spoke

• It has been half of the tenure time since Babu and Modi came to power. But nothing saw progress.
• What has happened to the promises about capital city and Polavaram? Babu and Modi together took the responsibility of their construction.
• Chandrababu and Lokesh are too busy robbing the state, to bother about the state’s development.
• The state is being insulted by Chandrababu’s act of mortgaging its benefits at the centre.
• It has been learnt that crores of rupees of funds were announced in 1976. It is ironic. How can a divided state have future?
• While the centre is throwing away funds like alms, Chandrababu is collecting them shamelessly, much to the dismay of the people of the state.
• It is surprising for Babu to say that the centre has to come to the aid of the state that was once deceived by Congress. Babu has the responsibility to convince the centre. He is pretending to be a foe of BJP and not a friend.
• The centre has to dutifully release the funds that it has to. It is not reasonable to not implement the things mentioned in the act.
• Polavaram project was declared as a national project and three independence days have passed since. Still Babu is narrating cock and bull stories.
• Babu is neither ready to ask the centre himself nor is he ready to form an all-party team with us. Moreover, he mocks the opposition party for making the proposal of a collective effort.
• YSRCP is only bothered about people’s benefit. It does not compromise in the issue.
• It is shameless of Babu to beg from the centre. People did not elect him to beg for alms. He is causing insult to the people of the state with his behaviour.
• Has Chandrababu forgotten what he said when Congress wanted to bifurcate the state? He said the capital city’s construction would take Rs.4-5 lakh crore if the state was divided. Now they just gave Rs.2500 crore and he is dumbstruck to ask.
• Reorganisation act mentioned that deficit would be covered by the centre. It is not a mercy. The state deserves its implementation.
• Due to the lack of consistency between the various reports of deficit budget Babu sent to the centre from time to time, the centre came to a conclusion that Babu was lying and declared it would sanction whatever it wished to sanction, finally giving the state just Rs.3379 crore.
• The centre does not trust Chandrababu anymore. Rs.1050 crore was announced for backward districts and Rs.450 crore for the capital city, but it was never physically sanctioned.
• Chandrababu is spending all the sanctioned money on his own luxuries and commissions.
• Being on the verge of being called a corrupted CM means an insult to the whole state.
• Chandrababu cannot get meagre funds and deceive people.
• In the past three years, only Rs.8,370 crore has been sanctioned for backward districts, revenue deficit, capital city and polavaram together. It is unfortunate for the centre to forget its lawful duty, Polavaram project. It alone demands Rs.36,000 crore.
• Babu and Modi are trying to bury the matter of Polavaram, in spite of water experts warning about AP being on the verge of becoming a desert.
• Promises like special category status and special package as well as those mentioned in the reorganization act should be implemented.
