Stating that TDP joined BJP-led NDA for the betterment of the state and to liberate the state from the repressive regime of YS Jaganmohan Reddy, TDP chief and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu assured that under any circumstances there would be no compromise on the rights of the minorities.
He participated in the Iftar dinner organized on Thursday evening at Kadiri Degree College Grounds of Sri Satyasai District. He asserted that TDP always stood for the welfare and development of the minorities and during its government many developmental programs were implemented for them.
In the month of Ramzan, he said that “I promise in the month of Ramzan… I am not a person belonging to one caste, one religion, one sect. I belong to everyone”. He recalled that during the TDP government from 1995 to 2004, many schemes were introduced for Muslims and Urdu was declared as the second language along with the provision of travel facilities for Hajj.
Naidu said the month of Ramzan is very holy… Muslim brothers do initiations with sincerity. He said that he wanted everyone’s cooperation to win the state and build the state.
Accusing that YSRCP government ignored Muslims interests, he recalled that after coming to power in 2014, he started construction of Hajj Houses in Kadapa and Vijayawada. Though 90 percent of construction was completed in Kadapa, the YS Jagan government failed to complete the remaining 10 per cent.
He said that during his regime an Urdu University was established in Kurnool and an honorarium system was introduced for Maujans and Imams. He said that Ramadan Tofa has been provided to the poor Muslims and many welfare schemes will be brought to the Muslim brothers in the future.
Lamenting that Jagan has dealt an irreparable blow to the state in five years, Naidu said that TDP and Janasena BJP are contesting together to save the state.
