Former chief minister and YCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy has alleged that after two months of coming to power only TDP started threatening losing public support and he described its decision to keep away from Visakhapatnam MLC by-poll from local bodies only due to panic to face a election.
He met with the ZPTCs and MPTCs from both Yelamanchili and Bheemili constituencies and pointed out that the significant presence and unity of the YSRCP has unnerved Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, resulting in the TDP’s withdrawal from the MLC election.
He also warned that TDP’s failure to fulfill its promises and the resulting discontent among the public will soon reach a point where TDP workers will struggle to face the electorate. Stating that there is growing dissatisfaction among the public with TDP’s governance, Jaganmohan Reddy predicted that within three months, TDP workers would also face backlash from every household.
The former Chief Minister has lamented that the TDP coalition government has failed to deliver on key welfare programs, dismantled crucial educational and healthcare initiatives, and fostered a governance style that is increasingly seen as corrupt and ineffective.
In this regard, Jaganmohan Reddy referred to discontinuation of schemes like Amma Vodi, Rythu Bharosa, and fee reimbursement, as well as the deterioration in law and order, healthcare, agriculture, and education sectors.
The YCP chief said that people are observing the stark contrast between the current and previous regimes. He recalled how the YSRCP government, during its tenure, delivered on its promises without excuses, even amidst unprecedented challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the financial crisis depicted by the previous TDP regime was inherited by the YCP government, in addition to additional burdens due to the pandemic, Jaganmohan Reddy said he has never shied away from implementing welfare schemes, ensuring that benefits were directly delivered to every household.
