TDP defeat imminent: YSRCP

Hyderabad, April 9, 2014: The tie-up with BJP will add to the woes of TDP which has nothing to tell about its achievements and it will taste the worst ever defeat in the ensuing elections as people are unable to digest its dichotomy, YSR Congress has said and dared Chandrababu Naidu to come for an open debate on the comparative governance of is 9-year term versus the 5-year rule of YSR.

“Naidu going back on his word that he will not distance the minorities by aligning with BJP has not gone well with the people and his double-speak on Narender Modi shows his opportunist tendencies,” party MLA G Srikanth Reddy told reporters here on Tuesday and challenged the TDP leader for an open debate on his nine-year governance vis-à-vis YSR term.

Naidu had earlier said that Narender Modi has to be banished after the Godra carnage and now went down on his knees for the alliance. As he is unable to face the elections on his own he trying to group up, Lok Satta, Pawan Kalyan and BJP to fight YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and he will not succeed as his past will continue to haunt him and people are waiting for a clear mandate to YSRCP.

“Though he is hopping from town to town doling out impracticable promises his double standards are thoroughly exposed when he says in Kadapa that injustice is done Seemandhra and while in Warangal says that he is the person responsible for creation of Telangana state as he gave the letter support a separate state.

He promises to make a BC as Chief Minister in Telangana where his stakes are low and does not apply the same yardstick in Seemandhra. He has nothing to talk about his achievements during his nine year rule and obviously there would be no mention of it as well in the manifesto,” he said.

Taking objection to the wild remarks and unwarranted heroics at the Kadapa meeting, Srikanth Reddy said: “I challenge the TDP President to come in for an open debate on his nine year rule in comparison to the five year term of YSR.

What he has done to Chittoor district or Kuppam during his nine year rule and what YSR has done to Kadapa and Pulivendula stand as a glaring example as to who cared for people and development. In Kuppam, while Naidu has built 18,000 houses during his ten year term, YSR has built 33,000 houses in five years. Naidu has given pension to 5,000 in Kuppam while YSR has increased the number to 16,000. 

Naidu promising of converting Seemandhra into Singapore does not mean anything to the rural people. Each irrigation project, be it Pulichinthala, Polavaram or Galeru Nagari is worth more than 100 Hi-Tech cities, he said.

Naidu has driven people out of the state in search of jobs while YSR has plugged the exodus and created economic activity and took care of all sections of the society, he said.

Despite grouping up all and sundry, the eventual winner in the ensuing polls will be YSR Congress, he said.
