YS Jagan Mohan Reddy launched a blistering attack against the coalition government on charges of launching a conspiracy to target the leadership of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) members. During recent local body bye-elections, Jagan strongly asserted that amid obstacles taken from the ruling party, the YSRCP got the verdict on most of the seats. The determination and struggle of workers he attributed as party workers worked tireless under many obstacles thrown at them.
Jagan conceded that due to the unexpected issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, while he was CM, he was not in a position to give priority attention to party workers. Nonetheless, he assured them that in the future, he will be more forthcoming in taking their issues at hand and protecting their interests.
Laying the groundwork for a new leadership approach, Jagan assured that “Jagan 2.0” will be more aggressive and rooted more firmly in the party cadre. He pledged to be with YSRCP workers and combat any injustice being perpetuated against them.
Addressing local body representatives at a meeting, Jagan congratulated the grit of party workers, who remained steadfast in the face of intimidation, lawsuits, and purported elections irregularities committed by the ruling government.
Grossly attacking the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Jagan accused the party of using unfair tactics to win elections. He noted that 39 out of 50 seats contested by YSRCP were won, highlighting the fact that in spite of TDP’s intimidation strategies, public support is still very much in YSRCP’s favor.
He also accused TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu of failing to deliver on 143 pre-election promises and claimed that public dissatisfaction with Naidu’s governance is at an all-time high. He further criticized TDP’s alleged manipulation in Visakhapatnam, where he accused them of using an unethical no-confidence motion to illegally take control of the municipal corporation.
Jagan also lashed out at TDP for alleged election fraud in Kuppam, claiming that the party declared victory despite lacking genuine public support. He further slammed Naidu’s latest political strategy, “P-4”, accusing TDP of spreading misinformation about state finances while failing to fulfill its governance responsibilities.
Posting high hopes on YSRCP’s return, Jagan said that people are now pinning the responsibility of failed promises on the current ruling government. He reassured his party workers that this time, YSRCP will be even more steadfast, assuring that public confidence will be regained and misleading political strategies revealed.
With YSRCP set to face a tough political fight in the coming times, Jagan’s recent remarks mark an intensified and renewed drive to take back power in Andhra Pradesh.
