The massive public meeting being planned by the Telugu Desam Party at Tirupati on Monday fully exposes party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s rank opportunism, says YSR Congress party.
YSRC general secretary Bhumana Karunakar Reddy said it was the same meeting, Naidu also had promised to bring Special Category Status (SCS) to the state, if voted to power.
“He also made several promises from the same platform, but went back on every single one of it,” Reddy said.
“It was from that same venue at Tirupati that Naidu had promised to get SCS for the state for 15 years but even after four years in power he could not achieve it on hand and on the other he tried to subvert it and spoke ill of our leader who had been telling that the status is our right,” he said.
“Four years after he had promised SCS, now he comes out of the coalition and addresses the people at the same venue thinking that people’s memory is short but he will be taught a fitting lesson at the hustings,” Bhumana said.
He pointed out that Naidu had never bothered about SCS and even tried to subvert it by bringing in special package issue and he has always worked to further his personal interests and not the state issues all the four years.
“Now he has been shamelessly coming to the same venue to spread the message that the Centre has gone back on its promise,” he said.
The YSRC leader said it was Naidu who was the main accused in the case and he crying foul was ridiculous.
“Not just SCS, he did not fulfil any of the poll promises within his purview. He has announced loan waiver to farmers and women self-help groups, unemployment stipend, free education from KG to PG, reservations to Kapu community and many more but did not fulfil even a single promise,” he said.
