Raise voice in Parliament on Jagan’s ‘destructive’ rule: Naidu
TDP national president and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu holding a meeting with party MPs at his residence in Hyderabad on Monday
Says Y S Jagan who came to power promising Special Category Status to the State could not even get a single project to AP
Stating that the Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government has miserably failed in protecting the interests of AP in implementing the assurances given through the State Reorganisation Act, former Chief Minister and TDP national president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday directed his party MPs to raise their voice on the floor of the House on the destructive rule in the State.
Chairing the TDP Parliamentary Party meeting, the party supremo told the MPs that though the period of implementation of the State Reorganisation Act is coming to an end in a few more months, the Jagan’s government could not safeguard the interests of the State. “What the YSRCP has achieved despite having 31 MPs,” Naidu asked and demanded the State government’s explanation on what it has achieved from the Centre.
Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, who came to power by making a promise to the people to achieve Special Category Status to the State, could not get even a single project or organisation to Andhra Pradesh in the past four years, Naidu pointed out. “At least, he could not get funds for the Central institutions established during the TDP regime,” he said.
Observing that there is no single instance wherein the ruling party MPs had even made an appeal to the Centre for any project to the State or raised their voice on any of the public issues, Naidu flayed the Jagan’s government for its miserable failure in getting a railway zone to Visakhapatnam, metro rail or funds for the backward areas.
“Jagan is only utilising the services of his party MPs for lobbying to escape from the cases but not to protect the interests of the State,” the TDP chief remarked.
The YSRCP MPs are interested only in getting loans from various agencies than achieving the interests of the State, the former Chief Minister felt. Stating that the style of functioning of the ruling party MPs was very disgusting, Naidu pointed out that even the Union Ministers too expressed serious concern over the prevailing situation in Andhra Pradesh.
“You should take to the notice of Parliament the attacks on Dalits, tribals, Backward Classes and Minorities,” the TDP supremo told his party MPs. He also wanted them to raise on the floor of both Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha how the Polavaram project was ruined with the inefficiency of the YSRCP government.
“The damage caused to Polavaram with the reverse decisions taken by the State government setting aside the suggestions made by the Polavaram Project Authority (PPA) and by the Centre should be taken to the notice of the Centre,” Naidu said and asked them to make every effort to find a solution to the issue. The TDP supremo also wanted the MPs to raise the inter-linking of rivers issue too and the efforts made by the TDP regime from 2014 to 2019.
Naidu made it clear that the party will take a decision on various Bills to be brought before Parliament as and when such Bills are introduced. Party MPs K Rammohan Naidu, Galla Jayadev, Kesineni Nani, Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar and former MP Kambhampati Rammohan Rao were present at the meeting.
