Give me a chance in the next elections I will develop the Uttarandhra region. My government will show what development means. You will get what you have been deprived off for all these years,” said Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan.
He branded the TDP government as most corrupt and made an appeal to the people of the region to throw the TDP out of power in the elections. “When we have to pay a bribe of Rs 5 lakh to Telugu Desam Party leaders to get an anganwadi teacher post or a contract post, shall we call it good governance? Similar situation prevails across the State and everywhere sand mafia has expanded its tentacles,” said Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan. As a part of his ‘Jana Sena Porata Yatra’ in north Andhra districts, Jana Sena chief addressed a massive public meeting at the Devi Temple Junction in S Kota in Vizianagaram district.
On the attitude of the TDP government, Pawan said that while Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu showed interest in completing the Pattiseema project before schedule, he is indifferent to the long- pending water projects of the north Andhra region. Chandrababu has not yet responded to the inclusion of 23 backward castes in the general category by the Telangana government.
On the land allocations, Pawan Kalyan said that the State government gave thousands of acres of land to the private corporates like Jindal, Patanjali, Franklin Templeton and Innova Solutions. But they don’t bother about the employment opportunities or jobs created by these business houses as promised. Even the 44 tribal villages of the S Kota mandal were not included in the ITDA jurisdiction and there are no minimum facilities in the villages. What these governments are doing for the STs and their welfare, he asked.
He said the Jana Sena will release the video clips on how the TDP leaders changed their stand on the Special Category Status in the last four years. “Since beginning, the Jana Sena is the only party fighting for the SCS and I am the only person who question consistently. Even the Opposition YSRC or its chief Jagan does not respond on these issues. He may be scared of Modi and the Central government. The TDP leaders in their internal meetings crack jokes on the people’s demands like the SCS and the railway zone. Unlike them the JSP has clarity on every issue on which it is speaking,” Pawan said.
“Reports came to me that the TDP was planning to buy majority votes in the next elections by spending Rs 25 crore per constituency,” he alleged. “When I pointed out the sufferings of unemployed youth, they immediately announced the unemployment dole, but it is an-eyewash,” he said.
On the indefinite hunger strike by a youth for a railway bridge near Balasala Revu village in Srikakulam district, Pawan Kalyan wanted the ruling party MPs to get at least this small bridge as they have failed to get the railway zone. He extended his support to the youth and appealed to him to withdraw his indefinite hunger strike immediately.
