Kakinada Yuvabheri was a grand success. On the
call of the peoples leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, youth from all corners of
Andhra Pradesh, visited the Ambedkar Auditorium in Kakinada. YS Jagan wished
the students and congratulated them for attending the program despite the
objections and obstacles created by the TDP government.
YS Jagan addressed the people in the Yuvabheri and
these are the highlights of his speech addressing the special status and
government actions over poor and unemployed.
·
Special
status states will get 90 per cent grants and 0nly 10 percent as loans. For
other states, 70 percent of the funds is in the form of loans and 30 per cent
is given as grants.
·
It is
already noted that the central cabinet has given its approval for the special
status around 22 months ago, while nothing is taken upon. Even the Prime
Minister can give the special status within no time, but it is not approved
though he heads cabinet and National Development Council.
·
If there
is special state status, the industries will get tax exemption, 30 per cent
discount of taxes, reimbursement of transport costs and 50 per cent cut in
power tariff for 20 years.
·
If there
is special state status, each district in Andhra Pradesh will turn into another
Hyderabad.
·
The TDP government
has removed 6000 students for no reason. The Arogya Mitras were recruited by
YSR and had won 28 national awards. The Arogya Mitra employees were protesting as
they were removed from their jobs.
·
Jobs can
be given only if AP gets special status. But, Chandrababu has mortgaged state
interests to serve his personal interest. In Uttarakhand, which has special
state status, there are 2000 new industries, an additional 34000 crore worth of
investments and 400 per cent increase in job opportunities. AP will also get
the same benefits if it has special state status.
·
Chandrababu
could have got the special status if had he really fought for it. But, his plan to
extricate himself from the cash for Votes scam is making him to sacrifice the
interests of the state. His compulsions are making him to keep silent on the
issue. It is time that the people of the state, especially the students, take
Chandrababu to task and force him to come around.
·
The
government says there are 1,42,888 vacant jobs. But, there is no recruitment
drive even after 22 months of the TDP assuming power.
·
No
notifications on APPSC exams and recruitment calender.
·
Over
30000 assistants were removed. It has been 16 months, but the DSC lists have
not be made public. There are no jobs and the government is cutting down on
jobs.
·
The troubles
of Anganwadi women remains unheard.
·
Special
status was promised by no less a person than the then PM as Andhra Pradesh has
lost Hyderabad, which has 90 per cent of software jobs. At least 70 per cent of
the total jobs are in Hyderabad.
·
When
Congress said it will give special status for 5 years, the BJP went a step
ahead and said the status would be given for 10 years. The TDP and the BJP made
it a poll issue and sought votes.
·
The same
governments are now trying to sidestep. The government is now talking about
special package and not special state status. The people should strongly take
Chandrababu Naidu to task for this flip flop. The argument that the finance
commission would decide on the issue is also wrong. The finance commission will
only discuss the issue of tax revenue allocation.
·
YS Jagan
motivated the people and stated that together, we can achieve the special
status. YS Jagan mentioned that with your blessings, we can achieve the special
status.
