In 2014, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu vowed to ban all liquor shops in the state, but, after four years years of his rule, he has ensured that every village had a liquor shop, YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said. The liquor shops have mushroomed right beside the temples and schools in the villages, destroying the lives of the youth, he added.
Taking a jibe at Chandrababu Naidu for neglecting the State's issues, YS Jagan criticized the AP chief minister's visit to various CMs. YS Jagan pointed out that the leaders of political parties whom Chandrababu had met were all opposed to the BJP in any case. Chandrababu is putting up a show as if he is bringing all of them together, when in reality, he is going round meeting everyone. The AP CM began a new drama "war on Modi", he added.
After calling Sonia Gandhi an "Avineethi Anaconda", Chandrababu is acting as if she suddenly turned into "Anandala Konda". After calling Rahul Gandhi a dumb boy, Chandrababu is acting as if he suddenly turned into a Medhavi (intellectual). As part of his war on Modi, the Dharma Porata Deeksha, Chandrababu is planning to invite national leaders to the meetings," he said.
Targetting the national leaders, he asked them why they did not respond when the 23 YSRCP MLAs defected to the TDP. Four MLAs in the Chandrababu cabinet are from YSRCP, like never before in the history of the country, he added.
"Chandrababu, was the October 25 murder attempt on me a pre-meditated conspiracy? On November 6, I set off on the padaytra and by the month of March it intensified. The same month, Chandrababu scripted the plan to eliminate me. Soon after the TDP opted out of NDA in March, Chandrababu brought into picture the scripted story of Operation Garuda through an actor with the yellow media support," he said.
YS Jagan further said that within an hour from the knife attack on him in the airport, the AP DGP and the Home minister read out the script saying the attacker was a YS Jagan fan. Within hours from the incident, a flexi with the attacker alongside me was released. It has a Garuda bird's symbol and not pictures of Dr YSR, Vijayamma and my sister Sharmila.
Explaining the drama over the 11-page letter written by the attacker, he said that the CISF officers did not find any letter in his pockets at the time of the incident. Later, a letter was said to be found but it doesnt have any folding marks, he said.
"Soon after I had entered Visakhapatnam district in August, the airport cameras were switched off. The TDP leaders accused my mother and sister of planning the attack," he added. What can be meaner and cheaper than this, he questioned. YS Jagan referred to the depths to which the TDP can sink in this manner.
YS Jagan recalled that both Congress and TDP leaders filed false cases against him. But now, Chandrababu withdrew consent to CBI besides not ordering inquiry in the attack on me and on the note for vote case.
