Dharna successful; IMG cupboard has more sekletons: YRCP

Hyderabad, September 26: Describing as successful,
the Mahadharna across the State to protest against the hike in RTC bus charges
and surcharge on power bills, YSRCP has said the anti-people policies of the
Government will spell the doom for Congress Party in the general elections.

“Our Party cadre held dharnas at all the district
Collector offices demanding the rollback of hiked diesel prices and reverse the
decision of colleting surcharge on energy bills with retrospective effect,”
Party MLC, Jupudi Prabhakar Rao told reporters here on Wednesday.

Though misuse of official machinery and law
enforcing agencies were blatant with the arrest of YSRCP leaders and cadre at
many places and police trying to foil our dharna, the event was successful as
our Party is with the people, he said.

There is a stalk contrast in the behaviour of the
police when compared with the recent all-party bandh and to our Mahadharna, but
YSRCP call for dharna has received good response, he said adding that the State
has increased prices of various commodities and services for 27 times and is
only waiting to pull on the remaining 18-month period of governance, he said.

We strongly condemn the police highhandedness,
particularly in Nizamabad and reiterate our commitment for people’s cause and
will march forward in pursuing the ideals of YSR as the State Government and
TDP have failed to bring up burning issues for discussion in Assembly or the
Council.

In a joint effort, they have seen off the five-day
session without any discussion and it appears as if they have completed a
formality, he said.

IMG: On the CBI
inquiry into IMG land allotment, he said more skeletons will come out of the
cupboard and TDP leaders trying to attach motives to a senior journalist who is
party to the PIL, which has formed the basis of investigation, shows the double
standards of the Party and its leader N Chandrababu Naidu.

“The same senior leaders were in all praise when a
PIL was filed by a Congress MLA and three senior TDP leaders impleaded in the
case against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. When it came to a PIL against IMG land
allotments involving N Chandrababu Naidu, things started looking differently to
them,” he said. 

Prime land running into an extent of hundreds of
acres was allotted by N Chandrababu Naidu to an obscure company with
questionable credentials without following the procedure and this was
questioned in the PIL and CBI will be probing into the issue under court’s
directive.

When CBI carried out investigation and arrested YS
Jagan Mohan Reddy based on a PIL which was filed by political opponents (one
Congress and three TDP leaders) TDP was speaking from a high moral pedestal but
when it came to its own frontcourt implicating N Chandrababu Naidu questions
are being raised about the credentials of those who filed the PIL; this is
foolhardy  and unacceptable, he said.

People are keenly observing this contradiction and
their verdict in the 2014 general elections will be no different than the
mandate given in the recent 18 by-elections, he said.
