Scared of Sharmila, Naidu doling false promises

Hyderabad, October 19: Scarred by the Maro
Prajaprasthanam Padayatra of Sharmiala, which is drawing tremendous response,
TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu, who is also on a padayatra, has been doling
out promises which are impossible to fulfill, YSR Congress has said.

“Chandrababu Naidu promising that his first
signature after coming to power would be on waiver of farmer’s loans but he did
not mention the mechanism as to how that promise would be fulfilled. He should
clearly specify if it would be from the budgetary or not,” Party CGC member
Konathala Ramakrishna told media here on Friday.

YSR had promised free power and it was included in
the budget. Naidu should tell if the present loans amounting to Rs 1,00,000
crores, after taking into account term loan, would be waived and include the
State budget which less than that total sum.

“These are brazen lies Naidu has been telling only
to wade through the padayatra and is speaking without any substance. He has
been telling things which cannot be implemented. He should also tell whether
the waiver would be from the State funds or the Central funds,” he said.

“YSR has never promised waiver of farmers’ loans.
As a policy matter, he took up the matter with the Centre and got the waiver
scheme on a national level,” he said.

The tumultuous response to Sharmila’s padayatra is
nothing but the anger people have against the State Government and main
opposition TDP as the two parties have been drifting away from people and
reality, he said.

Working to fulfill the ideals of YSR and under the
guidance of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the party will take up all programmes in the
interests of people, he said adding that Sharmila’s venture has baffled both
Congress and TDP as they thought that the Party will be affected by confining
Jagan to jail.

“When things went wrong, TDP leader in a knee jerk
reaction went on promising things which are not practical and impossible to
meet,” he said.
