Farmers to be accorded due importance in YSRCP manifesto

Vizianagaram: The YSR Congress Party parliament manifesto committee of Araku and Vizianagaram met here on Saturday. Senior party leader Botsa Satyanarayana said that progress and welfare were top priorities for the party with respect to the upcoming elections.

Botsa added that all the promises made by YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy during the course of his Padayatra will be fulfilled in the coming days.

The senior YSRCP leader added that GO 97 related to Bauxite Mining should be scrapped and Forest Rights Act should be upheld. Botsa assured the people of the state that farmers will be accorded due importance in the YSRCP manifesto.

Botsa Satyanarayana pointed out that names of YSRCP sympathisers were being systematically deleted and this was a TDP conspiracy, he maintained. He slammed the TDP leadership for indulging in such electoral malpractices. In Cheepurupalli alone thousands of votes were being deleted he said, and described Chandrababu as a bandit of whom the people needed to be vigilant. Botsa sought action from the election commission in this regard. The election commission must ensure a free and fair election in the state he said. Nowhere in the country was there a railway zone without a division he pointed out and he said that YSRCP would wage a relentless struggle for Visakhapatnam division.
