Chandrababu trying to forge an alliance with Congress

Rajahmundry: Andhra Pradesh chief Minister and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu was an opportunist to the core, YSR Congress Party general secretary Lakshmi Parvati remarked. Pointing out the instances where Chandrababu exhibited his opportunistic skills, she recalled the AP CM's statements saying that he was against BJP until the 2014 elections. Later with the wave favouring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the TDP chief forged an alliance with BJP, she pointed out.

The YSRCP general secretary said that Chandrababu is the sort of person who disowns people once he no longer has use for them. She reminded the people that former chief minister and erstwhile actor NTR had established TDP as an alternative to Congress. Chandrababu stabbed a great leader like NTR in the back and took over TDP she said, and added that now the AP CM was desperately trying to forge an alliance with Congress.

Expressing her surprise over Chandrababu's new political move, she said this was one of the reasons why people have begun to dislike him and his brand of politics. She said that people were now ready to teach Chandrababu a lesson in the next elections.

YS Jagan Thanks AP People For Padayatra Success

YSR Congress Party Chief and AP Leader of Opposition, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's mass contact  Praja Sankalpa Yatra entered its 200th day today. Before starting off on his historic walkathon, the people's leader thanked the people of Andhra Pradesh for their faith in him. He also promised to bring back Rajanna Rajyam which would ensure a better governance.
 "Hope, of a better tomorrow. This is what I've seen on people's faces, since Day 1. As I complete 200 days of Praja Sankalpa Yatra . I express my gratitude to the people of AP for their faith in me. 
I'm determined to restore Rajanna's Rajyam & bring back the smiles on your faces!," he tweeted.

I am Indebted To People of AP: YS Jagan

Bhimanapalli (East Godavari): On the occasion of completing 200 days of Praja Sankalpa Yatra, Leader of Opposition in AP Assembly and YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy thanked the people of Andhra Pradesh and said it would not have been possible for the padayatra to continue if it had not been for the support of the people. He said God's blessings and people's good wishes spurred him on and helped him move ahead without any hindrance.
YS Jagan said it was the love and affection of people which proved to be a source of inspiration for him for 200 days. He said that all through the padayatra people came to him to pour out their woes. He gained a deeper insight into their lives. YS Jagan said that it was clear they were facing several hardships under the TDP misrule. There were no loan waivers and minimum support price for agricultural produce was not given.
He pointed out that farmers were the worst affected, and that there was no fee reimbursement for students, Arogya Sri was completely watered down.
The YSRCP Chief was surprised that the government continued to be unconcerned about the people. Any CM has to aspire to do good so that he would be remembered for generations, he said and remarked that unfortunately the scenario was just the opposite when it came to Chandrababu in AP.
The Leader of Opposition promised to bring Rajanna Rajyam to the state based on Navaratnalu. YS Jagan thanked everyone who participated and encouraged him directly or indirectly to continue with his padayatra. He said the Praja Sankalpa yatra will continue till Ichchapuram and sought the blessings of the people to enable him to complete the Padayatra.

He said  on the instructions of YS Jagan, the party will take up plantation programme on the eve of the  completion of the yatra.  

YS Jagan has been receiving immense response from people to his yatra

Massive demonstration of support - YS Jagan completes 200 days of Yatra

A vast sea of humanity surging and frothing all around…. A massive people’s response to a clarion call given by a young leader known for his grit and determination….. People pouring out their tales of woes to man who represents the hopes and aspirations of the vast masses….. Yes… That’s YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for you.

Today is the 200th day of his historic and game-changing padayatra. He is close to completing 2400 km of his Praja Sankalpa Yatra.

Critics who passed snide remarks earlier are now reconsidering their opinion. They are now recognizing the power of YS Jagan’s Yatra. In these 200 days, he had made the wily Chandrababu eat his humble pie and talk about special status to Andhra Pradesh. The popularity of his yatra had made the TDP come out of the NDA government.  Now it is clear that the there is no stopping for YS Jagan. People from all walks of life are flocking to him and are  backing his yatra. Even the rivals are thinking in terms of holding similar outreach programmes. How YS Jagan is winning places and people of different types, regions and backgrounds is confounding even the worst critics.

The historic yatra began on November 6, 2017 from Idupulapaya in Pulivendula constituency. He embarked upon his yatra after praying at his father’s memorial and seeking blessings of his mother. He covered Pulivendula, Kamalapuram, Jammalamadugu, Proddatur and Mydukur constituencies in Kadapa district. After covering 91.5 km in Kadapa, he entered Kurnool, where he covered 255.5 km in Allagadda, Banaganapalli, Dhone, Pattikonda, Kodumur, Yemmiganur and Alur constituencies. In Anantapur, he trekked 264.8 km  covering Guntakal, Tadpatri, Singanamala, Uravakonda, Raptadu, Dharmavaram, Puttaparthi and Kadiri constituencies. In Chittoor, he covered 10 constituencies and travelled 289.8 km.
In Nellore, he covered Sullurpet, Gudur, Venkatagiri, Sarvepalli, Kovur, Atmakur, Kavali and Udayagiri constituencies. In Prakasam, Kandukuru, Kanigiri, Markapuram, Santanutalapadu, Darsi, Addanki, Parchur and Chirala constituencies received YS Jagan with affection and showered their blessings on him.

The same support was seen in Krishna and Guntur district. The massive support to the son of YSR had unnerved the TDP leadership. Those who duped the people with false promises have turned jittery seeing the response to YS Jagan’s yatra. The story was the same in twin Godavari districts. The people have milled in  in unprecedented numbers in East and West Godavari distrits. Currently, the yatra is winding its way through Amalapuram and the response is as massive as it could be. The yatra has touched the 200-day mark and is well on its way towards the culmination in a few weeks from now.

Its 200 days for Praja Sankalpa Yatra

Amalapuram: Leader of Opposition in Andhra Pradesh assembly and YSR Congress President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy began the 200th day of the public outreach programme Praja Sankalpa Yatra from Amalapuram of East Godavari district on Wednesday morning.

Chandrababu's cheap tricks are a result of his state of insecurity

Nellore: YSR Congress Party Nellore parliamentary constituency incharge Kakani Goverdhan Reddy lambasted Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu for the poor performance of his government in the last four years. Chandrababu is spreading false propaganda against opposition parties to cover up the failures of the government, he remarked. Speaking to media here on Sunday, he said that false allegations are spread that YSRCP and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are allies. The TDP leaders first alleged that YSRCP MLA Buggana Rajendranath Reddy met with BJP National President Amit Shah, but when they couldn't prove it, they narrated a new story on an alleged meeting between BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav and the YSRCP MLA, Goverdhan Reddy said.
The Chief Minister's cheap tricks are a result of his state of insecurity, he said. Chandrababu is unable to tolerate the kind of support YSRCP was enjoying and he has resorted to spread false propaganda, he added.
"YSRCP is ready to face any kind of investigation on the comments made by minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu," he challenged. Rajendranath Reddy did not give any official information on the alleged meeting, he stated.
"How could Chandrababu appoint BJP Minister Nirmala Sitaraman's husband, Parakala Prabhakar, as his official advisor? Why did Chandrababu appoint Maharashtra BJP minister's wife as member of the TTD Board?" Goverdhan Reddy questioned.
MP Sujana Chowdary is often seen alongside Union finance minister Arun Jaitley in Delhi these days, he observed. Chandrababu has lost moral ground to criticize YSRCP Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, he added.

Chandrababu & Co Are More Intolerant & Insecure Ahead Of 2019 Elections

Ever since the TDP pulled out of BJP led NDA,  the ruling party leaders including Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu have been more intolerant and insecure in Andhra Pradesh.  

Exploiting the support of the yellow media, the TDP  leaders are spreading rumours and canards against the YSR Congress Party.  The ruling party leaders unfolded a fresh political drama by  saying YSR Congress and BJP will be political partner in next elections.  

The YSR Congress has been maintaining distance from BJP led NDA. After coming out of the NDA,  the TDP leaders looked very insecure and politicizing the YSR Congress leader having lunch with BJP MLA in New Delhi.  The TDP maintained silence when YSR Congress supported NDA backed Presidential election. Now, the ruling party leaders are raising the issue. 

It is clear that Chandrababu will go to  jail soon in connection with the cases mainly cash for vote scam pending before the court. Leaders have become intolerant toward YSR Congress and trying to malign the image for political gains. 

We all wish that you were still here: YS Jagan

Leader of the Opposition in Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly and YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy wished former Chief Minister, late Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy was still alive, on the occasion of Father's Day today.

His tweet read: "A father is someone who you look up to, no matter how tall you grow! I'm fortunate to have had a father, who was looked up to by not just me, but the entire state of Andhra Pradesh. Happy father’s day, #YSR. We all wish that you were still here."

Farmers denied Freedom To Sell Thier Lands in Chandrababu Govt

YSR Congress Party senior leader and MLA CH Jaggi Reddy said that farmers in Coastal Andhra districts have no freedom to sell thier lands as ruling TDP leaders are demanding Commissions. 

He alleged that the new online land registration system introduced by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu were full of technical glitches and the party leaders are exploiting the farming community during land registration. 

Reddy said all the land registrations have come to a standstill in East Godavari district as farmers are not ready to sell the lands. He said  that farmers,  unemployed youth, women and other communities poured out thier woes before YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who is on his Padayatra in the East Godavari district.  The yatra was entered 191 day today.

Chandrababu's Double Standards Leaves AP In Big Crisis

The drama enacted by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on special status issue for the last four years had forced Andhra Pradesh to plunge into big crisis.  

The TDP Chief had played double standards on the contentious special status issue putting state future at the stake. Special status  has been considered as lifeline for Andhra people but Chandrababu never took serious to protect his political gains. 
The AP CM clamped prohibitory orders to suppress the struggle launched YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy by holding series of meetings with youth.  The government threatened arrest of the people who took part in special status struggle. 

Chandrababu also extended his support for special package in lieu of special status announced by the Centre and praised. When people started  rallying behind YS Jagan,  the TDP Chief took U turn and launched artificial struggle to hoodwink people again. His call to hold meetings with students in the universities was a political gimmick to cheat youth again. 

Chandrababu made the promise of providing Rs 3,000 unemployment dole to every youth. In the last four years, the scheme was not enforced. Now, the government has put many conditions to enforce the scheme.The promise of resolving the plights of Fathima medical college students was still pending. 

YSRCP MP Resolves To Launch Intensified Struggle for Steel Plant

In the wake of the union government's decision not to establish Steel plant in YSR Kadapa district,  YSR Congress Party senior leader and MP Avinash Reddy announced the launch of intensified protracted struggle demanding the centre to fulfill the promise of setting up steel plant as mentioned in AP Reorganization act. 
 
With a slogan - 'Kadapa Ukku- Andhra  Hakku', the MP said his party will fight for Kadapa people’s right for steel plant until their dreams are realised. He held ruling TDP in AP and BJP at the centre are responsible for not fulfilling the promises including special status, new Railway zone and steel plant.  

Avinash Reddy said his party MPs sacrificed their posts to the cause of Andhra Pradesh and also fought tooth and nail on the long pending demands in Parliament.  The TDP MPs never raised the issue of steel plant in the Lok Sabha. He ridiculed TDP MP CM Ramesh call to launch agitation for steel plant. 

Chandrababu misusing hundreds of crores of public money

YSRCP Farmers' Division president MVS Nagi Reddy said that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was misusing hundreds of crores of public money in the name of consultancies. He expressed his surprise over the appointment of KPMG as the consultant for agriculture department. The government was shelling out crores on KPMG which has not even contributed a single thing for the department, he said.

The YSRCP leader said that if one looks at the KPMG deal with the state government, we hear the names of Lokesh and Somireddi. If the state's growth rate was very good, why would we need international consultancy firms' services, he asked.

Nagi Reddy recalled that Chandrababu had earlier appointed McKinsey as a consultant and spent huge public money. It was surprising to see the government hire consultants when departments have experienced scientists and engineers, he said and added that consultants were being appointed just because of TDP's greed for commissions.

The farmer's leader recalled the days of late Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy's rule when agriculture was flourishing. It is diminishing now under Chandrababu, he lamented. Without minimum support price, farmers were committing suicide, he said and demanded that the state government ask the centre for MSP for farm produce. The AP CM and Somireddi were not bothered about the plight of farmers, he remarked.

Development Has been Zero In Four Years

YSR Congress Party has released a charge-sheet on four years of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's government in the state here today. It stated that the TDP government has failed in all aspects of welfare and development. Speaking to media at party head quarters here today, YSRCP MLC Ummareddi Venkateswarlu said looking the way Chandrababu government was deceiving the people, YSRCP has come out with this charge-sheet.
The YSRCP MLC said that during the elections Chandrababu Naidu, Narendra Modi and Venkaiah Naidu promised Special Category Status to AP. In fact they demanded SCS for 15 years. But finally Chandrababu settled for Special Package and started propagating that it was the best option for the state.
Ummareddi expressed his surprise that after four years, Chandrababu has changed his stance. "If at all the AP CM was sincere and stood for development of the state, he should compare our charge-sheet to their manifesto." He said the TDP chief was misleading the people. After having won the elections with the help of BJP and Jana Sena, the two parties have deserted TDP for failing to fulfill the promises made, he added.

All set for YS Jagan's public meeting

 Leader of the Opposition in Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly and YSRCP president, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, is scheduled to address a public meeting in Nidadavolu here today on day 184 of his mass contact initiative, Praja Sankalpa Yatra. It may be recalled that YS Jagan's Padayatra entered West Godavari on May 13, when he stepped into the village of Peda Adlagada in DendulurU constituency. YS Jagan has so far interacted with the masses in 11 assembly constituencies. It was in West Godavari district that the YSRCP chief reached the historic milestone of 2,000 km near Eluru Venkatapuram panchayat.
YS Jagan, accompanied by thousands of workers, supporters, YSRCP sympathisers and leaders, proceeded through Denduluru, Gopalapuram, Tadepalligudem, Ungutooru, Undi, Bhimavaram, Narsapuram, Palakollu, Achanta and Tanuku constituencies. Wherever he went on his Padayatra, people thronged in large numbers to the roads, highways, rallies and public meetings. Along every step of the way, common citizens have been meeting YS Jagan and narrating their problems to him. On his part, the mass leader has been lending a patient ear to them. He has been seeking to address and resolve them at every point.
YS Jagan's Padayatra will next move to Kovvuru constituency.

Chandrababu is the king of injustice and master of lies

YSR Congress Party released a charge-sheet on the four years' rule of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu at the party state office here today. The charge-sheet was released by YSRCP leaders Tammineni Sitaram, Malladi Vishnu, Jogi Ramesh, Vellampalli Srinivas, Sudhakar Babu, Appi Reddy and Bhavkumar.
Later talking to the media, YSRCP official spokesperson Tammineni Sitaram said Chandrababu was a role model for atrocities and corruption. "He is the king of injustice and master of lies." He remarked that in four years of TDP rule, they have conveniently forgotten about loan waiver. Chandrababu had promised to sign the loan waiver file after taking charge as CM as the first thing, but he has not adhered to his word.
Sitaram asked whether it was not a fact that the TDP leader looted the state in the name of Neeru Chettu programme and asked the TDP government to spell out what it had done for the state in the last four years. All the constitutional bodies have been reduced to mere puppets, he said and added that the government was in ICU. The YSRCP spokesperson wondered about what happened to the lakh crores of investment, as claimed by Chandrababu. He demanded that the AP CM ask the turncoat MLAs to resign and face bypolls.
The YSRCP leaders questioned if TDP leaders could challenge their charge-sheet. Jogi Ramesh said that it was a clear that all the departments have failed under Chandrababu's rule. Similarly Malladi Vishnu said that people of AP regretted electing Chandrababu. He said both Modi and Chandrababu were alike and added that both of them will be taught a proper lesson in the next elections.
Echoing the same concern, Sudhakar Babu said people could not recall at least one welfare scheme that has been introduced by Chandrababu in the last four years. He criticised Nava Nirma Deeksha and said it was yet another drama staged by AP CM.

Huge response for YS Jagan's padayatra

Leader of Opposition in Andhra Pradesh assembly and YSR Congress President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy began the 180th day of the public outreach programme Praja Sankalpa Yatra from Penugonga on Monday morning. The mass leader will proceed towards Ithampudi, Aletipadu, Ogidi Cross, Gollagunta Palem and Vendravaripalem, where he will break for lunch.

After lunch, at 2.45 pm the walkathon will continue and proceed to Iragavaram and continue towards Errayi Cheruvu, where YS Jagan will halt for the day.

Government Responsible For Diluting Agrigold Agitation

 The Andhra Pradesh government diluted the recent agitation taken up by the victims of the Agrigold scandal, YSR Congress Party state secretary Lella Appi Reddy remarked. Speaking to media here, he said, "The YSRCP constituted a delegation to support the cause of AgriGold victims. An 11 member committee was formed to safeguard the interests and address the issues of the victims in the last years. Top leaders of YSRCP will convene a meeting with the Agrigold victims in Vijayawada on June 9."
The YSRCP leader said the meeting will formulate an action plan to resolve the issue of the victims. The party will unite all the victims from 13 districts of the state in the meeting, he said. "The government should immediately release Rs 1,100 crores of relief fund for the Agrigold victims," he added.

OMG!! Rs 31 crore for Chandrababu’s publicity?

On one hand Chandrababu wants the state to be frugal, but he himself has become a byword in splurging. His foreign tours and his meetings involve huge expenditure and is known to spend public money like it is water. His private flights and the monies splurged on it are too well known. But, do you know that even his  social media accounts entail huge expenditure?

Chandrababu has outsources his two social media accounts. He has appointed social media networking agency Hubilo at a whopping cost of Rs 6 crore for his Twitter and Facebook accounts. All that they do is to post two tweets a day. He has also roped in image building agency Group M to project the welfare schemes and developmental programmes of the State Government. Know how much he is spending on Group M! A jaw-dropping Rs 25 crore.

However, despite all these things,  he is unable to derive the kind of mileage he wants. He is unable to get a positive image. Well! The basic lesson is he has frittered away four years and no amount of publicity can resuscitate him. It’s the work that speaks not the PR agencies.

YS Jagan's Padayatra Receives Immense People's Support In West Godavari

YSR Congress Party President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s Padayatra has been receiving immense support from all sections of people in West Godavari district.  The yatra has entered in Godavari district on May 15 and proceeding successfully.  

People are flooding with compliants and requested YS Jagan to come to the rescue of them in the 'tyrannical ' Chief Minister Chandrababu’s government.  

The YSR Congress leader launched his yatra in Idupulapaya in YSR Kadapa district and already crossed 2000 km covering Kurnool,  Anantapur,  Chittoor,  Prakasham,  Nellore and Krishna districts. People were also seen jostled each other to take a selfie with YS Jagan all through the yatra. 

Day 177 of Praja Sankalpa Yatra begins

AP Leader of Opposition and YSR Congress Party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's historic walkathon Praja Sankalpa Yatra is progressing successfully in West Godavari district. YS Jagan began the 177th day of his Padayatra from Narasapuram outskirts on Friday morning. The yatra will traverse through Chittivaram Cross, Rajole Cross, Digamarru before reaching Pedha Guruvu Cross where YS Jagan will break for lunch.

After lunch, the padayatra will proceed towards Palakollu, Ullampuru where the padayatra will halt for the day. YSRCP State General Secretary Thalashila Raghuram released the Padayatra schedule.

It is odd to see Chandrababu praising NTR now

Senior YSRCP leader and party spokesman, Ambati Rambabu described Telugu Desam Party's Mahanadu as an event where not a single leader spoke the truth.  Speaking to the media, he criticised the TDP leaders for indulging in false propaganda at the Mahanadu.
Chandrababu Naidu had stabbed his father-in-law and the party founder, NTR in the back, he recalled. Ambati added that it was odd to see Chandrababu praising NTR now. A casual look at NTR's interview on Youtube would reveal Chandrababu Naidu's true colours, he added. While the TDP chief had bragged about holding Mahanadus all over the world, in Dallas city in the US, people came out sporting black shirts in protest against Mahanadu and Chandrababu, he pointed out.
Interestingly, Chandrababu Naidu had claimed at the 2017 Mahanadu, that the Special Package announced by the Centre was an excellent one. In fact, a resolution was passed to this effect then, he reminded the media persons. Chandrababu had at that time, asserted that the state did not need Special Category Status (SCS). Ambati Rambabu derided Chandrababu's posturing now and his attempts to project himself as a  champion of SCS to AP. His attempts were exercises in deception, the YSRCP spokesman said.
Ambati Rambabu described JC Diwakar Reddy as a leader without credibility who is indulging in politics of flattery today and will begin criticising Chandrababu after the elections, he said. He also ridiculed Chandrababu for asking people to give him 25 Lok Sabha seats for him to secure SCS for the state. The YSRCP leader remarked that TDP might get 25 assembly seats in the next round of elections.
Ambati Rambabu criticised Chandrababu Naidu for claiming that the TDP government had fulfilled 98% of its promises and for blaming PM Modi and the opposition for his inability to fulfill the remaining 2%, he said. He said that if the Congress party had bifurcated the state in an unjust manner, both TDP and BJP had ruined the state completely.
