Highlighting the achievements of the BJP-led government at the Centre, Amit Shah has exhorted the people of the State to ensure the victory of the party in 20 of the 25 Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 elections
The YSR Congress Party (YRSCP) government in Andhra Pradesh led by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy “is ridden with corruption,” Union Home Minister Amit Shah has alleged.
Addressing a massive public meeting at the railway football grounds here on June 11 (Sunday), Mr. Amit Shah compared the YSRCP government with that of the UPA government that had ruled the country from 2004 to 2014.
Mr. Amit Shah went to the extent of saying that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had turned the peaceful city of Visakhapatnam to a haven for anti-social elements, who were indulging in land scams and patronising free trade of drugs.
“Apart from corruption, the YSRCP government has done nothing for the State,” he alleged.
“He (Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy) calls his government as a farmer-friendly State. If that is the case, then why does Andhra Pradesh rank third in farmer suicides in the country?” he questioned.
Mr. Shah said the money given to the State government by the Centre under the PM Kisan (farmer) insurance scheme was being labelled by Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy as ‘Ryhtu Bharosa’ and disbursed to the people of the State.
More than 11 crore farmers had so far benefited from the scheme as the Central government was transferring a financial aid of ₹6,000 directly into the farmers’ accounts every year.
