One does not know what the major achievements of the ruling Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh are in the last 18 months, but Chief Minister and TDP national president Chandrababu Naidu has chosen to launch Jana Chaitanya Yatra to boast about his government.
Addressing a public meeting after participating in Jana Chaitanya yatra at Vemuru in Guntur district, Naidu said the TDP always supported and took care of people’s welfare.
There were so many problems and the State has deficit budget, he said adding that despite of these problems, the government is implementing welfare programmes in the State.
It was TDP government which has initiated first time construction of pucca houses in the country, Naidu said.
Naidu said he has seen problems and owes of people when he undertook padyatra in 2008. After this experience, the government has formulated programmes to ensure providing hassle-free administration to the people, he said.
The TDP government has waived off Rs 24,000 crore farmers loans and various welfare schemes are being implemented in the state, he said adding that the pension amount increased to Rs 1000 from Rs 200 and 44 lakh people are getting benefit of this pension.
The government is spending Rs 6,000 crore for the purpose of pensions only and pensions were being given keeping in view the welfare of poor, handicapped and aged persons.
Is there anyone to call Naidu’s bluff?
