Elect a leader who cares for you: Vijayamma

Reiterating that the people had undergone turmoil during the past five years after the death of YSR, YS Vijayamma has said the time has come to reckon and elect a leader who cares for your welfare and shows concern to people’s issues and appealed to vote for YSRCP fan symbol which would strengthen the hands of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who will bring back the welfare state.

Addressing a public meeting as part of the YSR Jana Bheri here on Tuesday, she said: “The Congress government after the death of YSR has put his welfare schemes on the backburner and taxed the people heavily. TDP has joined with Congress and foisted false cases against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and put him in jail though charges against him were not proved.

Jagan on the other hand has been with the people and had taken up the cause of farmers, students, farmers and held dharnas and deekshas across the country. Even while he was in jail, he had directed us to take up agitations.

His concern and commitment matches to the vision of YSR and I appeal you to vote for YSRCP fan symbol and elect him Chief Minister of the new state which will see development on a fast-track and welfare to all sections of people,” she said.

We require numbers in the Parliament and for that we need your precious vote which would enable us to have a good bargain with the Centre in getting more funds and developing the state faster.

Congress and N Chandrababu Naidu are the main persons responsible for division of the state and went ahead in axing the state for the sake of votes and seats despite strong opposition from our side.

Now Naidu, whose unconditional approval for dividing the state has led to the bifurcation, is coming to people in the name of development and with false promises. Naidu has never kept his promise and has reversed the TDP welfare schemes of NTR like Rs 2 kg rice, lifting of prohibition and scrapping the welfare schemes.

He is coming to the people with tall promises which are not possible to implement like the waiver of farm and DWACRA loans which exceed the state budget, one job per family which is just impossible as there are 3.5 crore families in the state. Naidu has the history of shutting down 65 PSUs and rendering 26,000 government employees jobless a move which affected nearly 7 lakh workers.

His credentials are always questionable and this time he has been promising “All Free” in desperation without going into the logistics and feasibility. 

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on the other hand has promised to sign five files on the day he assumes office. He carries the legacy of YSR who has signed the free power to farmers and power dues waiver files immediately after being sworn-in as Chief Ministers.

The five files will be Amma Vodi which provides monetary assistance for education of two children from each family, increasing pension to Rs 700, setting up of Market Stabilisation Fund and Calamity Fund to help farmers in distress, waiver of DWACRA loans and decentralization of administration.

He will also strengthen Aarogyasri, build 50 lakh houses in five years and provide 150 units for Rs 100 besides rapid industrialization.

She also recalled YSR welfare schemes like Aarogyasri which took quality medical treatment to the reach of the poor, fess reimbursement and pavala vaddi schemes among others and appealed to the people to vote for YSRCP fan symbol.
