Vote Jagan for a welfare state: Sharmila

Kavali (Potti Sriramulu
Nellore dist), March 20, 2014: Overcoming all hurdles, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has
withstood the dubious designs of Congress and only he can place the State on
the development track unlike TDP and Congress that have played divisive
politics and were away from the people, YSRCP leader Sharmila has said and
appealed to the voters to give a clear mandate which will help the party to get
a lion’s share from the Centre in terms of welfare and development.

“YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is
synonymous to value-based politics and he has crossed all the hurdles created
by political adversaries and the rough patch has strengthened his resolve to
shape up a welfare state and I appeal to you to pronounce your verdict firmly
and decisively which helps in shaping our own future,” she said addressing a
public meeting here on Thursday.

Emboldened by the letter
given by Chandrababu Naidu, Congress has gone ahead and divided the state
meting out injustice to the people of Seemandhra. BJP at the Centre and TDP at
the State were equally responsible for the division of the state and
cooperating with the high command while YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had met all
national leaders to stall the process. He along with YS Vijayamma and 175 party
coordinators has gone on fast against the decision.

With the division taking
place against our wish, we should have a strong and committed leader like Jagan
who will turn a new leaf in the polity of the state and put it on a fast-track
development course that would benefit all sections of people.

“Jagan is the need of the
hour and I appeal to you to strengthen the Party in the multiple elections
starting with municipal, mandal parishad, zilla parishad, assembly and Lok
Sabha and teach the Congress and TDP a fitting lesson,” she said.

Other parties will come to
lure the voters with promises which they cannot keep and such people should be
kept at bay, Sharmila said: “Chandrababu Naidu has made many promises in the
past but never bothered to fulfill them. Coming to the people before elections
with a plethora of unfeasible promises and forgetting them with absolute
convenience is the old habit of Chandrababu Naidu and this time around it would
not be different.”

He has been hopping from
town to town lecturing about Singapore, Malaysia and other quixotic measures
falling under the “All Free” category, including loan waiver to farmers. If he
had such a will, he should have shown shades of such mercy while he was chief
minister for nine years, leave alone implementing the scheme, she said adding
that people will not believe as he comes out during electioneering and doles
out promises as people got used to his histrionics.

Naidu has no credibility as
his past haunts him and his deeds of deceit are still fresh in the minds of the
people. He has backstabbed NTR, founder president of TDP, grabbed power and
party symbol and thrown his father-in-law out of the Party.

Naidu was on record
speaking low of agriculture, propagated that irrigation projects were loss to
ex-chequer and subsidies would make people lazy. He has removed subsidised
power, hiked power charges eight times in as many years and acted as a World
Bank agent.

“If such man comes to
people with promises like free power and loan waiver, it sounds strange and the
memory of people is not short as they have seen farmers, weavers and others
driven to suicides by his corporate governance,’ she said.

The contrast between YS
Jagan Mohan Reddy and others is wide open and people should vote for YSRCP fan
symbol and give the reins of governance to a capable and committed leader,” she
said.
