Only the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) can save Andhra Pradesh from an impending debt trap and ensure the completion of various developmental projects that have been pending for the last five years, the party’s national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said.
Addressing a large gathering at Pendurthi on Wednesday evening, Mr. Naidu took a swipe at Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for backtracking on his initial acceptance of Amaravati as the capital of the State. “Jagan Mohan Reddy’s insistence that Visakhapatnam be made the capital of A.P. is now out of love for the city or its people but to grab lands,” Mr. Naidu said.
The TDP chief promised to develop the north Andhra region if the party was voted to power in 2024.
Mr. Naidu recalled that he had brought out G.O. 229 to provide a solution to the ‘Pancha gramalu’ (Simhachalam land issue) but the YSRCP government went to court against its implementation. The issue would be resolved if the TDP comes to power, he said.
Mr. Naidu said the ‘peace-loving’ image of the city was disturbed after the YSRCP came to power in the State. “Since the YSRCP has come to power, prices of essential commodities have shot up, power tariff has been increased as never before and RTC bus fares and property taxes have been hiked,” Mr. Naidu said, adding that the YSRCP government was trying to blame the Centre for everything.
The TDP chief thanked the people of Visakhapatnam region for electing the party’s candidate in the recent MLC election to the Graduates constituency. “Money and muscle power of the YSRCP failed to work,” Mr. Naidu said.
Standing on an open-top vehicle, Mr. Naidu flashed the victory sign as hundreds of people lined the roads during his roadshow from R&B Junction to Pendurthi via NAD Kotha Road.
