Hyderabad, Aug 6, 2014: Upstaging lame excuses to evade the poll promises, TDP government is going all out to water down the assurances on one hand and the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his coterie has been working for personal gains leaving people in the lurch, YSR Congress has said.  

“Blaming RBI and other institutions as coming in the way of loan waiver is sheer opportunism as the Chief Minister and his close corporate friends are able to secure loans with or without any collateral while the same set of people is trying to express their helplessness in various unconvincing manners,” party MLA Chevireddy  Bhaskar told reporters here on Wednesday.  

The quantum of anti-incumbency TDP government has accumulated during the earlier nine-year term has mounted in equal measure in just nine weeks of Chandrababu taking charge as he failed to fulfill a single poll promise and has been giving conflicting and contradictory statements on the financial status of the state.

 His cabinet colleagues too are playing their part in the episode to confuse people and bid time without fulfilling any of the promises be it loan waiver to farmers, women, jobs to youth, pensions and the assurance of increasing retirement age limit to 60 years is applicable only to a small section of employees, “ he said.  

“We are with the people and our Party has a clear ideology and we will take up the cause of the people and question the inefficiency of the Government and its deceit to deceive farmers, women, students and other sections of the society.  

Chandrababau Naidu seems to be running the government on a corporate plank with selective leaks on the probable state capital only to jack up prices and is only trying to run away from reality by issuing contradictory statements on financial condition of the state in order to confuse the people. Till now not a single poll promise was fulfilled nor could a single farmer get fresh loan.  

Chandrababu Naidu and his coterie are working for their personal gains and getting loans left, right and centre with or without any security but when it comes to farmers they are unable to negotiate with the banks no give any assurance to the financial institutions.  

Chandrababu Naidu has the history of closing down a healthy institution like Chittoor Dairy for the sake of earning profits to his family-run Heritage Foods which now has over 2,000 outlets and is a multi-crore enterprise.  

TDP with the help of its friendly media is trying to rub its inefficiency on RBI and other financial institutions only to deceive the people, “he said.  

As a responsible opposition party we will take up the issue at all appropriate forums and will be with the people all the time, he said.
