Vote for a credible leader: Jagan

YSR Congress President Ys Jagan Mohan Reddy has appealed to the people to vote for a leader who has credibility and is capable of steering the state towards development on one hand and carryout all welfare activities on the other without taxing the people as YSR has done.

“The YSR term stands out in development and welfare as the preceding and succeeding Chief Ministers had scant respect for the people and had misplaced priorities. As a true heir to YSR I will carry out all the poll promises and make you stakeholders in the development process,” he said and appealed to the people to vote for YSRCP fan symbol.

The five files I have promised to sign on assuming power will change the course of the state and put it on the path of development. Chandrababu Naidu has been moving around making false and impracticable promises as this would probably be his last election but I am here to stay and cannot go back on my word. This difference is marked and you have to strengthen the Party by giving a thumping verdict in favour of YSRCP, he said.

In 25 days more, a bright dawn will break which will usher in the golden era of YSR and the voters should be judicious in selecting the Chief Ministerial candidate, he said amidst cheers from the public.

Though there were Chief Ministers before and after him only YSR is still remembered even five years after his death only because of the concern he has shown to the poor. As his heir I will carry forward his legacy of being the model Chief Minister in the country, he said.

Chandrababu Naidu will also come to town doling out false promises of loan waiver and one job per family. “You have to ask him as to why he did not implement them while he was chief minister for five years. He has a horrid history of forgetting the poll promises and taxing the people heavily. Now he is speaking of subsidized rice but it was he who increased the price of Rs 2 kg rice, he was responsible for lifting prohibition and encouraging belt shops.

Naidu joined hands with Sonia Gandhi in dividing the state and his MP has boasted of casting the first vote in favor of the division in Lok Sabha. When he comes to this region, he sings a different tune. His promises are a bundle of lies and when some persons advised me to increase the stakes of promises, I cautioned them saying that I cannot do it as I need to be in public life for over 30 years and for Naidu this is last election and he is desperate to tell blatant lies.

My five signatures will change the course of the state and bring in welfare to the needy. The Amma Vodi scheme will check school dropouts and take care of the education of two children in a family. Increasing the old age pension to Rs 700 will keep the senior citizens happy. For farmers a Rs 3,000 crore Market Stabilisation Fund and a Rs 2,000 crore Calamity Relief Fund would be set up to safeguard them from the market fluctuations and droughts and floods.

Redefining women empowerment economically, I will waive the Rs 20,000 loans of DWACRA groups and simplify the loan and interest procedure. Administration will be brought to your door steps which will issue all documents from ration card to pension card within 24 hours and from each panchayat ten women will be employed to close down belt shops.

Housing will also be given top priority and I will build 50 lakh houses by 2019 to ensure that there will be no person without a house after five years and give pattas to them which will help get bank loans.

Aarogyasri scheme will be strengthened and each district will have a super specialty hospital that will not look down as poor for providing quality treatment.

I cannot make false promises like Chandrababu Naidu that one job per family, but I can assure you that I will try my best to generate employment to the youth, he said and introduced the party candidates and sought votes.
