Sharmila slams Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy for failing to create jobs, impose prohibition

APCC president Y.S. Sharmila criticizes her brother, CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, for ignoring the people and failing to deliver on promises.

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila said on Saturday that except for ideological differences, she did not have any enmity with her brother and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

“I had supported and worked for the YSR Congress Party’s success in the previous elections. The ruling party has now ignored the people who voted for it. I cannot sit and watch when injustice is being meted to the State by the government,” she said. while addressing the ‘Rajanna Rachabanda’, a public grievance programme, at Narsipatnam in Anakapalli district and a public meeting in Paderu Assembly constituency in Alluri Sitharama Raju district.

During the Rachabanda programme, a number of women, elderly persons, and youth complained about land encroachments, lack of jobs, and failure of the ruling party in allotting houses or plots for them.

She termed the “bonhomie” between the TDP and BJP and the BJP and YSRCP as a “triangular love story.”

“Though the BJP has not won a single MP or MLA seat in Andhra Pradesh, it is still controlling the State. The YSRCP and the TDP are not in a position to question the BJP and raise their voice over the assurances given at the time of bifurcation of the State. These parties do not have any commitment on achieving Special Category Status and Polavaram project. Only the Congress party can deliver them,” she said.

Ms. Sharmila further said that farmers suffered the most due to the apathy of the YSRCP government. She said that most of the irrigation projects had been ignored.

She also criticised the government for failing to create jobs and bring in investments. She further said that a majority of the youth were migrating to other States after completing their PG studies.
