People won’t believe Naidu: YSRCP

Hyderabad, September 29, 2012: YSRCP Minority Cell Convenor Habbeb Abul Rehman has reiterated that Muslims are not in a position to believe N Chandrababu Naidu as his past carries the scar of being associated with fundamentalists while the community has benefited enormously with the YSR welfare schemes.

Speaking to media here on Friday, he said: “It was YSR who introduced 4 per cent reservations and Chandrababu Naidu’s association with BJP and NDA is still fresh in the memories of Muslims and his sudden turn-around to appease the community will yield no fruits as he drifted away from us.”

We cannot forget the demolishing of Babri Masjid and TDP extending support to BJP-led NDA government and Muslims cannot trust the tall promises being made by N Chandrababu Naidu. Be it the Money Transfer Scheme or 15 seats to Minorities, we are not prepared to believe him, he said.

“We have benefited from the schemes introduced by YSR and the community is in total support to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy,” he said adding that TDP will continue its losing streak in the 2014 elections as well.

Addressing a separate press conference, MLA Srinivasulu and N Surya Prakash said: “former chief minister, N Chandrababu Naidu has been rousing regional and caste passions in the name of mass contact programmes.

We appeal to the former Chief Minister to resurrect and strengthen his Party in a positive way but not to play caste politics and whip up regional passions in the name of padayatra. TDP’s earlier declarations carry no weight as during the nine years, while Chandrababu Naidu was chief minister, no effort was made to strengthen the marginalised sections of society.

“He has mishandled the categorisation of SCs, BC reservation and social issues and has no faith in democracy. People will not believe his promises,” they said adding that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will be coming out soon and lead the Party to a tremendous victory.
