A leader like Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, is not at all fit for politics and he has come to power only to loot the State but not to serve the people, remarked former chief minister and TDP president, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, in Kuopam on Friday.
On the second day of visit to his home constituency, Kuppam, Chandrababu Naidu addressed a massive public meeting at NTR Circle of Santhipuram in the segment. The TDP supremo felt that the Land Title Act is brought in only to illegally occupy the lands.
“Santhipuram is not new to me as I always make a visit to this place but this time I find some special affection in all of you towards me which is giving me more strength,” Chandrababu told the gathering. Expressing confidence that he will certainly emerge victorious from Kuppam this time with on one lakh majority, he said, adding that whenever elections are held TDP is always confident of victory from two Assembly segments, Hindupur, which was once represented by the TDP founder, the late NT Rama Rao, and Kuppam, represented by him.
Maintaining that he always worked hard as the elder son of the voters here for the progress of Kuppam segment, Chandrababu fondly recalled that the voters helped him win the seat for seven times. “The support from the people here is such that they felt that there is no need for my personal visit here to even file my nomination,” he said.
Terming Kuppam as a laboratory for the entire Telugu community, he recalled that the first Israeli technology is introduced here. Ralling how he has developed Kuppam in all aspects, Chandrababu said that this Government is so inefficient that even 13 per cent of the remaining works of Handri-Neeva proects are not completed in five years.
Asking Jagan as to why he is neglecting Kuppam, Chandrababu said that the local Minister is more interested in looting the granite reserves in the area than on the welfare of the people here. The ruling YSRCP leaders always think how to rob the people but not to do something good for the State, he said and asked as to why action has not been initiated yet though he has earlier clearly pointed out unauthorised quarries here.
Without paying the conpensation to the Avulapalli Project displaced, this Government called for tenders with an estimated cost of Rs 2,002 cr, Chandrababu said and stated that the Avulapalli, Neetiguntapalli and Mudiveedu projects are taken up without proper permissions. As the local farmers has taken legal recouse, the Green Tribunal has imposed a fine of Rs 100 cr on the State Government, he said, adding that public money is being wasted.
“I will certainly recover all the amount that is looted by these YSRCP leaders,” Chandrababu Naidu said and observed that several local leaders of the ruling dispensation have illegally occupied lands. Expressing serious concern that rowdism and land grabbings are on alarming rise in Kuppam in the past five years, the TDP supremo informed the people about all the developmental works that he had undertaken as the chief minister of the State.
Assuring the people of implementing all the promsies that he has made to them, Chandrababu said that immediately after the TDP-Jana Sena forming the coming government all their demands like laying of roads and providing jobs to the youth will be met. Asking the people whether a single job is provided to the youth by this Government of even a single industry has set up its unit in any part of the State, the former chief minister said that only Mr Jagan and his Ministers want to protect their jobs.
“Immediately after coming back to power I will provide 20 lakh jobs to the youth and also unemployment allowance of Rs 3,000 per month will be given to the jobless till they get employment,” he said. The slogan of the youth is “job ravalante Babu ravali” (If you want job, Babu should be back in power), he said.
Promising to strengthen the markting system to encourage exports, Chandrababu also assured the local people of constructing an airport here. Chandrababu is of the strong opinion that the YSRCP has no future and even the party leaders do not have respect in the party circles. Chandrababu Naidu gave a call to the huge gethering that ‘YSRCP should be out for the betterment of the State.’
