Stating that these elections will put an end to minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy’s looting, TDP chief and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu declared that from now Punganur constituency will be liberated from Peddireddy.
Addressing a massively attended Prajagalam public meeting in Punganur along with BJP’s Rajampet MP candidate and former chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, TDP chief said that Kiran Kumar Reddy is the right person to end `sins’ Peddireddy politically.
After Kiran Kumar Reddy electing as MP, Chandrababu said that Peddireddy will be deprived of sleep as he will check his authoritative attitude. Narrating Peddireddy’s corrupt practices, he said that he earned commissions in mango purchases, and the entire sand and liquor business was hijacked by his family. They looted over Rs 30,000 crore, he alleged.
Naidu said that there is no comparison between Kiran Kumar Reddy and Peddireddy, as the former hails from a big political family and his farmer was a big politician who shaped politics of the state. “While there were two chief ministers from this district one is Kiran and second is myself”, he added.
Refuting the authoritative attitude of Peddireddy, he asked “Do you think we are all slaves to you as you are a minister, your son is an MP, your younger brother is an MLA of Thamballapalle?”. He recalled that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi said NDA reflects Development, whereas YCP symbolizes corruption.
Chandrababu appealed to people that this is an opportunity to get them liberation from the anarchy and looting of Peddireddy and his family. He said that they can develop and flourish if only they revolt against the corrupt YCP regime. In Punganur, he deplored there is no day without attacks and arrests and false cases were foisted against thousands of people.
He assured Muslims that as long as Kiran Kumar Reddy is there there will be no problem to them and he can stand by them in all circumstances. He recalled that no injustice was done to Muslims as long as Kiran was Chief Minister.
Moreover, he said TDP is a party that does justice to Minorities and Muslims. He assured that he would protect 4 per cent reservation to them.
