Naidu ploy to evade poll promises flayed

Hyderabad,
May 27, 2014: Taking strong objection to the provocative remarks  of Chandrababu
Naidu at his party Mahanadu meeting, YSR Congress has said, this is a ploy to
evade the poll promise and divert the attention of the people but as a
responsible opposition Party we will see to it that the promises made during
elections are addressed to in toto.  

“Chandrababu
Naidu making a special mention that political adversaries were killed after YSR
came to power is highly provocative and he is setting the agenda for the days
to come. The killers of YSR’s father had taken refuge in Naidu’s house and the
TDP leader has the history of eliminating political adversaries and anyone who
goes against him,” YSRCP spokesperson Gattu Ramachandra Rao told reporters here
on Tuesday.  

Political
opponents and TDP leaders were also eliminated at the behest of Chandrababu
Naidu and history carries in its pages the gruesome killing of a powerful
leader of a particular community in the heart of Vijayawada city, the murder of
a journalist and an IAS officer. All these were described as the handiwork of
people in power during TDP regime. The Party also has a history of
creating killers and eliminating them like Mallela Babji who sprang up from
nowhere and vanished into the thin air after getting undue publicity, he said.  

Speaking
of elimination of political adversaries from the Mahanadu plank, indicates the
situation that would arise in the days to come and as a prelude there were
attacks on YSRCP cadre and sympathizers in East Godavari where a 70 year old
was killed for casting his vote against TDP, in Gopavaram in the same district,
Khammam, Guntur and Krishna districts there were attacks on YSRCP cadre.  

“We will
not take things lying low and will take up all issue at the appropriate forum
and challenge the TDP in all its undemocratic acts. We have increased our
voting by 400 % and with people on our side we will ensure that TDP does not
shirk its responsibility and keep away from the poll promises as farmers are
eagerly waiting for the loan waiver with agriculture season fast approaching.  

Naidu
telling his cadre that YSRCP is against the waiver of farm loans is ridiculous.
It was YSR who has brought in a lion’s share of 13,000 crores to the state of
the Rs 64,000 crore farm loan waiver nationwide.  

The TDP
seems to be in search for a way out to escape the waiver scheme as Prime
Minister Narender Modi made no mention of it in his speech nor was it
thoroughly spoke of in the Mahanadu, but we will take up the issue at every
possible platform to highlight the deception of Naidu, he said.  

To sum
up, the Mahanadu has focused on four issues, how to keep the cadre in dark, how
to weaken the opposition, how best Modi mask can be used and to show empty
coffers when the question of poll promises come up.  

All said
and done, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is the rising star while Naidu is a fading
façade and in the coming days will show who stands where, he said.
