YSR Cong will continue to stand by people: Vijayamma

YSR
Cong will continue to stand by people: Vijayamma 

YSR
Congress party honourary president Smt. Y.S.Vijayamma concluded her two-day Fee
Deeksha at Indira Park in Hyderabad on Friday (Sept 7) with an assurance that
the party will continue to stand by the people in finding solutions to their
problems.

Vijayamma
concluded her fast by accepting lemon juice from two girl students Priyanka and
Naveena.

Winding
up her Deeksha, Vijayamma said her son Jagan Mohan Reddy has been enquiring
about people’s problems even from the jail and asking the party leaders to take
up people’s problems and try to find solutions to them.

“Jagan
has been in the jail for more than 100 days but he will soon come out of the
jail and fight for the public cause again,” she said, adding that nothing has
been proved against him even after one year of filing the case.

Vijayamma
said 28 lakh students were benefited during the YSR period from the fee
reimbursement scheme. “YSR allotted more funds to the scheme than in the
budget,” she said and asked the government if it can confidently say the scheme
is being implemented in its entirety.

Lambasting
the Government for not releasing the fee reimbursement funds to colleges for
the last three years, Vijayamma asked the government to show sincerity and
implement the scheme fully as implemented by YSR.

She
said no other leader can understand the people’s problems as YSR had
understood. “He always thought of the welfare of the people. Government is
collecting thousands of crores in taxes but is not willing to implement the
welfare programmes or solve people’s problems,” she said, adding that no one in
the state is happy with the present government.

Where
are the jobs?

Criticizing
the chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy for announcing that investments worth Rs.
6.5 lakh Cr are arriving in the state and lakhs of people would get jobs, she
said the Government has not kept its promises.

“Tell
us where the jobs and where the investments are” she asked the CM. “There are
no medicines and doctors in the hospitals. You have abolished old age pensions
and are not interested in finding solutions to the people’s problems,” she
said.

While
the YSR regime offered free power to the farmers, the government has removed
all subsidies and even seeds are not available today, she said and added that
the rates of fertilizes have increased by 300 per cent.

Vijayamma
slams Naidu

Finding
fault with TDP chief N.Chandrababu Naidu for not responding to her call to
ensure that 100 BC representatives are elected to the assembly in the next
elections, Vijayamma said Naidu never visited any college nor spoke with any
student.

“It
is surprising to note that Naidu is claiming he had introduced the fee
reimbursement scheme,” she said and accused him of hobnobbing with the Congress
government.

Vijammma
charged that both Congress and TDP have joined hands together aiming at her son
Jagan Mohan Reddy. “Both Congress and TDP are holding press conferences only to
attack Jagan and criticize him,” she said.

“Why
Chandra babu went to Delhi and met Chidambaram secretly,” she asked saying that
this incident alone proved Naidu has been in collusion with the Congress.

Vijayamma
also said Congress leaders are also involved in several scandals like the
Ameerpet land scam. 

Govt
has no concern for students: Sobha

YSR
Congress Legislature Party deputy leader and MLA Sobha Nagi Reddy lambasted the
Government for not responding to people’s protest over the issue.

Addressing
the gathering on the occasion, Sobha said Government has remained unconcerned
despite numerous protests and dharnas by students and parents for the
restoration of the full fee reimbursement.

“The
Government has not been caring though thousands of BC students will forgo the
opportunity of pursuing the engineering course because of the conditions and
limitations imposed for full fee reimbursement,” she said and added that the
Kiran Kumar Reddy Government has no interest in implementing the schemes
introduced by YSR. The government doesn’t want to do good to the people, she
remarked.

Sobha
Nagi Reddy said the Government had cleared the dues of fee reimbursement to all
colleges as YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy took up a 7-day
Deeksha in February 2011.

She
charged the government with trying to cancel the scheme completely on some
pretext or the other and demanded it to implement it fully by removing the
limitations and conditions so that all eligible students will benefit.

Lakhs
of students would be adversely affected: Janak Prasad

YSR
Congress Party Trade Union leader Janak Prasad, who also addressed the
gathering, said the way the fee reimbursement scheme is being implemented by
the Government will rid lakhs of students of the golden opportunity to pursue
their academic career.

“The
future of lakhs of students is at stake with the government’s decision forcing
them on to the streets,” he lamented.

Janak
Prasad said the Government is not in a position to take decisions even after
being chided by the legal courts.

“This
is a hopeless and inefficient government as it is unable to engage the services
of efficient and expert lawyers in courts,” he criticized.
