TDP-JSP alliance stages joint protests against bad roads in Andhra Pradesh; CM Jagan Mohan Reddy accused of breaking promises; TDP-JSP to take up more campaigns in public interest.
TDP and Jana Sena Party (JSP) activists staged joint protests against the bad condition of roads across the State on Saturday. They raised slogans against the State government’s alleged negligence in keeping the roads in proper shape.
On the occasion, TDP State president K. Atchannaidu said the TDP-JSP alliance called for a two-day campaign to highlight the pathetic condition of roads and it evoked a knee-jerk reaction from the government, which started talking about inviting fresh tenders for laying new roads and repairing the damaged ones.
He observed that travelling on the pothole-ridden roads became a torture for the people, but the government was least bothered about their plight.
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was habituated to breaking promises, and the latest one about making the roads motorable was bound to end up as another piece of rhetoric.
The TDP-JSP combine would take up more such campaigns in public interest, he said.
