Jagan will begin era of development

Giddaluru  (Prakasam
dist), March 21, 2014: Affirming that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will turn a new leaf in
the state polity in terms of development and welfare measures with his vision
and programmes,  Sharmila has appealed to the voters to pronounce their
verdict decisively in the ensuing elections to enable the Party to have a say
in the formation of government at the Centre.

As part of her YSR Praja
Garjana electioneering she said "We have seen the dark age of Chandrababu
Naidu and the reversal of that period by YSR regime which was followed by a
slide into backwardness after the death of YSR.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is the
need of the hour who can steer the state towards development and ensure that
all sections of the people are happy as he has a vision like YSR who balanced
welfare and development,” she said while addressing a public meeting here on
Friday.

He has made five promises
and vowed to develop the state into the best one among the country and I appeal
you to vote for YSRCP fan symbol to usher in a welfare state.

YSR knew the pulse of the
people and has launched welfare schemes that have touched every section of the
society. Through Aarogyasri he could provide quality treatment to the poor,
Jalayagnam, free power and waiver of loans and interest has infused confidence
in the farmers who produced bounty crops, started fees reimbursement scheme for
students who immensely benefitted and are leading comfortable lives now,
empowered women through pavala vaddi scheme, increased pensions to senior
citizens, built record number of houses other things.  

Despite taking up so many
welfare schemes, he did not increase power tariff, hike bus fares and the
common man was not burdened. The price of gas cylinder was Rs 300 when he took
over as chief minister and it remained the same till his death. This shows the
commitment of a leader and his concern for the weaker sections, minorities and
women.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is
true heir of YSR who will be doing more for child education, pensioners,
farmers, DWACRA groups and to decentralize administration.

After the death of YSR,
came Kiran Kumar Reddy in a sealed cover. He has increased power charges
exorbitantly and burdened the consumers to a tune of Rs 32,000 crores
additionally. He went on a spree of increasing prices, fares and tariffs
affecting the common man. The Congress has included the name of YSR in the FIR
and put YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in jail for no fault of his. 

Instead of questioning the
Congress, Chandrababu Naidu joined hands and went on a Save Congress mission.
Chiranjeevi has merged his Party and served Congress but Naidu has been doing
it from outside.

He worked only to further
his personal interests and had secret pacts with Delhi to save his skin from
the various corruption charges he has been facing, she said.

He has been instrumental in
dividing the state as he gave an unconditional letter. YSRCP has knocked at
every door took up every form of agitation to keep the state united but the
vested interests had axed the state.

It is time for us to
rebuild the state and shape it into a vibrant one and a leader like YS Jagan
Mohan Reddy only has the competence to do it.

We have seen what
Chandrababu Babu Naidu has done during his nine year term. It was a dark age in
the history of the state. He had scant respect for agriculture and farmers. He
has never reviewed the education scenario in the state.

He has run the government
like a corporate office and has collected user charges from poor patients in
government hospitals while YSR has made corporate hospitals accessible to the
poor. He increased power charges eight times in eight years and was very harsh
on defaulters.

With such a dubious
history, Naidu is coming to people seeking votes. It is time, people make up
their minds and throw out the divisive and dishonest forces and elect a capable
leader like YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to see better days and a welfare state, she
said.
