Kadapa, Dec 29: The coalition compulsions will put development and welfare on the back burner, while a single party in power will fulfil its agenda in toto, as YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has shown during his tenure, YSRCP has said. Speaking to the media here on Monday, party spokesperson Rachamallu Siva Prasad Reddy said YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is the only person in the entire country, in its long parliamentary history, to contest elections on his own without any tie-ups and implement all the welfare programmes and carry out development works independently. The coalition government in the state, with three parties having vote shares of 1 percent, 2 percent and 39 percent, has joined hands, but YSRCP secured a 40 percent vote share, which shows that YS Jagan is more popular than the three parties put together. TDP and Jana Sena are siding with the BJP for obvious reasons, and governance in the state clearly shows that the coalition cannot fulfil election promises due to its many compulsions and limitations, unlike YSRCP, which rose on its own and implemented its entire agenda without any compromise. Chandrababu is a known political opportunist who can change colours at will, while Pawan Kalyan talks tall but yields to the bait thrown by TDP, as is being seen of late. They still fear YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, as his vote share is much higher and he enjoys people’s backing, which was also demonstrated during recent programmes taken up in public interest. Among the 28 states in the country, 58 recognised political parties and six national parties have, at some time or the other, had an understanding or tie-up with other parties. It is only YSRCP, under the leadership of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, that has gone to the people alone, making it a true people’s party. On the reorganisation of districts, he said it is not in good taste to change the topography whenever there is a change in government. If Saint Annamacharya’s birthplace is not in the district named after him, what sense does it make, he asked.
