Vote for Naidu means end of welfare schemes, says Jagan

-

“A vote for Jagan will ensure continuati­on of all existing welfare schemes, while a vote for Chandrabab­u will result in terminatio­n of all such programmes,” says YSRCP president and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Addressing an election meeting at Tadipatri in Anantapur district on Sunday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the ensuing elections were not only to elect MLAs and MPs, but also for continuati­on of the positive accomplish­ments of the YSRCP government and uplift of the underprivi­leged sections.

He claimed that his government ful„lled 99% of the promises made in the manifesto, which he considered as Bible, Bhagavad Gita, and Quran.

“Your child has pressed the button 130 times for the direct bene„t transfer (DBT) schemes. The government has disbursed a total of ₹2,70,000 crore to the bene„ciaries. I am seeking your blessings by showcasing my achievemen­ts. When the current government took o§ce, there were four lakh vacant jobs. In the past „ve years, my administra­tion provided jobs to 2,31,000 people, resulting in employment in village secretaria­ts, new schools, and hospitals,” he said.

The Chief Minister said he had allocated 80% of available jobs to the SCs, STs, BCs, and minority groups.

“We have been providing services at the doorstep of bene„ciaries in every village and town. I have not only upheld social justice but also took the initiative for its realisatio­n,” he said.

He accused TDP national president N. Chandrabab­u Naidu of uttering lies with the sole aim of coming to power.

“I appeal to the people not to believe Mr. Naidu’s false promises. In 2014, he had promised to waive loans to the tune of ₹87,000 crore, apart from the loans of women groups. He did not ful„l any of the promises after coming to power,” the Chief Minister said.
