Modi is set to achieve a hattrick, Amaravati will shine again, says Pawan Kalyan

-

Jana Sena president Pawn Kalyan on Sunday expressed confidence that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)Jana Sena Party ( JSP) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) combine will form the government in Andhra Pradesh.

Addressing the Praja Galam public meeting at Boppudi near Chilakalur­ipeta, Mr. Pawan Kalyan described the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “big relief” to the State which was “crumbling under huge debt and without any developmen­t”.

“The five crore people of the State are happy as the three parties– BJP, TDP and JSP— have come together,” Mr. Pawan Kalyan said.

Recalling the meeting of the alliance in the runup to the 2014 elections in Tirupati, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said, “Then the alliance was announced with the blessings of Lord Balaji and now, the three parties have come together with the blessings of Goddess Kanaka Durga.”

Welcoming the Prime Minister to the meeting, he said that Mr. Modi was set to “achieve a hattrick” and his arrival “reposed faith among the people of the State and that Amaravati is going to shine again.”

Terming Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy as a “liquor baron”, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said that Mr. Chief Minister had failed to clear ₹10,000crore GST.

“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy has minted ₹40,000 crore through a venture capitalist firm. Even as the

State has recorded business transactio­ns of ₹1.20 lakh crore, the Chief Minister projected it as a mere ₹84 crore. Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s only goal is to make money, not to develop the State,” he alleged.

Pointing out that no industry had been set up in the State during the YSRCP’s tenure, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said that the existing units were shifted out of the State “unable to bear the harassment by the government”.

‘No industrial growth’

“The industrial growth in the State has come down to 3% from 10.4% in 2014 and this is telling all about the negative growth,” he said.

“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy feels that he can do anything with the huge money he has. But Mr. Modi will establish ‘Rama Rajya’ in Andhra Pradesh,” he said.

Stating that the “Kurukshetr­a battle has begun”, Mr Pawan Kalyan urged the people to support the NDA, saying that “morality and virtue will emerge victorious ultimately.”
