A.P. Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy is neither ‘Arjuna’ nor ‘Abhimanyu’, but ‘Bhasmasura’, alleges TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu

[TELUGU]

The YSRCP government has made Andhra Pradesh number one in farmer suicides in the last five years, alleges the TDP supremo; he also alleges that the ruling YSRCP has driven away industrialists by harassing them.

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has made Andhra Pradesh number one in farmer suicides and pushed the farming sector into a debt trap, alleges Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu.

“Development in the State is a mirage under the YSRCP government,” Mr. Naidu said while addressing a public meeting at the party’s ‘Raa Kadali Raa’ campaign here on January 28 (Sunday).

Referring to Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s claim during the YSRCP’s ‘Siddham’ programme near Visakhapatnam on January 27 that he was “Arjuna and not Abhimanyu,” the TDP supremo said, “Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy is neither Arjuna nor Abhimanyu. He is like Bhasmasura, a demon, who is out to destroy people by placing his hands on their heads.”

“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is the richest among the Chief Ministers in India, is trying to hoodwink the people and come to power again by claiming that he represents the poor,” Mr. Naidu said.

The YSRCP government had driven away the industrialists from the State by harassing them. Industrialists such as Galla Jaydev (who is also TDP’s Member of Parliament) were unwilling to continue in politics as their companies had been forced to move out to Telangana, the TDP chief said.

“YSRCP leaders are reluctant to contest on the party ticket again,” he said, and added that leaders such as Anam Ramanarayana Reddy and Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy of Nellore district were harassed and forced to quit the ruling party because they tried to correct Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s “evil ways,” Mr. Naidu said.
