Discontent within the ruling YSRCP was exposed once again, as two senior party leaders and sitting MLAs kept away from chief minister and party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s Bus Yatra in Prakasam district on Sunday. The two MLAs given unexpected shock to the chief minister are Kandukur MLA Manugunta Mahidhar Reddy and Darshi MLA Maddishetti Venugopal.
As they were denied party seats this time, both of them kept away from party activities and poll campaigns. Though the Chief Minister’s emissaries tried to convince them to take part in Bus Yatra, they became adamant. To avoid Jagan’s tour programme, while Mahidhar Reddy went to Hyderabad, Venugopal went to Bengaluru.
These two sitting MLAs didn’t care even CM Jagan coming to their own constituencies. Jagan’s bus trip to Kandukur and Darshi.. these two sitting MLAs did not care. Moreover, they were also reportedly absent to avoid facing the public, as all the irrigation projects initiated during the TDP regime were kept on hold by YS Jagan’s regime.
Even most of Jagan’s promises made during the 2019 elections were also forgotten. The Veligonda project that was started during Chandrababu Naidu’s regime is yet to be completed. CM Jagan unveiled another stone plaque at the Veligonda project by putting the displaced people in the police station.
The residents of Veligonda project have not received compensation till now. People are waiting for water to come out. Jagan Sarkar did not care even if two gates of the Gundlakamma project were washed away.
Not a single brick was laid for the construction of Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu University. The construction of a medical college in Markapuram has not moved forward. The industrial corridor in Donakonda has not taken shape. CM Jagan also set aside the construction of the International Driving School in Darshi.
