Vijayamma ups ante against Naidu

Kadapa, (YSR Kadapa dist),
March 28, 2014: Upping the ante against TDP President, YSRCP Honorary President YS
Vijayamma has said that his manifesto is full of impracticable schemes and
Chandrababu Naidu has never shown concern towards the poor but only helped his
close associates to further their business interests while YSR has been a role
model Chief Minister in balancing welfare with development.

Chandrababu Naidu has come
to town with promises like waiver of loans which is an impossible task as it is
a Central subject and people have seen a dark age in his nine year term where
he has neither brought in a Rs 100 crore industry nor built a major project
though he stakes claim for being the kingmaker at Delhi.

“He has always worked to
the benefit of his close associates and doled out empty promises to people as
he has failed to implement the girl child education, cash transfer and one
crore-sop schemes. He has made a mockery of the BC welfare by diverting Rs 650
cores from the BC Corporation to his cadre and throwing crumbs at the artisans.
He has promised to build hostels to BC students but did not keep up his word.

He cannot seek votes
promising that he would bring back nine year rule as it is littered with suicides,
drought, neglect of agriculture, overzealous publicity and implementing harsh
measures on farmers.

He wrote in his book Mee
Kosam, that government jobs are a mere waste of money and encouraged contract
jobs. In the name of disinvestment he has thrown out some 20,300 workers by
closing done profit-making PSUs and transferring them to his business
associates, she said as part of her YSR Janaberi here on Thursday.

He was harsh on students,
anganwadi workers, farmers and mocked the YSR idea of free power. On the
contrary, YSR has changed the landscape of the state by providing free power to
farmers, waiving power dues, launching welfare schemes like Jalayagnam,
Aarogyasri, pressing 108 ambulances into service, pavala vaddi scheme to
empower women among others.

He has built 600 hostels
for boys and girls belonging to weaker sections two each in an assembly
constituency.

He has the record of being
the only Chief Minister in the country to carry out all the welfare schemes
without imposing any fresh taxes or increasing prices or tariff that affects
the common man. He has increased pensions and expressed concern for the welfare
of SC, ST, weaker sections and minorities, who were given 4 % reservation in
jobs and reservations.  

YSR welfare schemes have
benefitted all sections of people in all the 23 districts of the state.
Pulichintala and other projects were chalked out by YSR to benefit this region
but the Congress government had no time or will to complete as it was busy in
division of the state.

Chandrababu Naidi has been
staking false claims that he has developed Hyderabad city. It was during YSR
term that the Outer Ring Road, International Airport, Express Highways and
other such infrastructure was developed.

“No wonder Naidu will
stakes claim for all the welfare schemes of YSR as well. He has been telling
that he was responsible for creating IT hub in Hyderabad but reality is that
during his term the State dropped from third to fifth place in terms of IT
exports. He can also stake claim for building some of historic monuments in
Hyderabad, which was the fifth largest city even when he was a kid,” she said.

Kiran Kumar Reddy has
helped the centre in dividing the state and is now trying to protect himself as
a champion of a united state while Chiranjeevi has mortgaged his 17 MLAs and
the 70 lakh voters for the sake of a berth in union cabinet berth.

 YS Jagan Mohan Reddy
will continue all the welfare schemes of his father and has made five promises
which he will fulfill. Amma Vodi will provide education to two children from
each family, old age pensions will be increased from Rs 200 to Rs 700 per
month, a Market Stabilisation Fund will be set up to ensure MSP to farmers,
DWACRA loans will be waived and administration will be taken to the door steps
of the poor, she said.

Recalling that the local
people have given YS Jagan Mohan Reddy a thumping majority in the Lok Sabha
by-elections, she appealed to them give a similar mandate to all YSRCP
candidates in the municipal, mandal, Zilla Parishad, Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

Drinking water and
sanitation would be the main local issues that would be addressed, she said.
