CM Jagan Mohan Reddy emphasized the importance of the manifesto, comparing it to religious scriptures and highlighting the government's commitment to fulfilling its promises. He contrasted YCP's track record with the previous TDP government, accusing them of failing to deliver on their 2014 manifesto promises.
With the release of YCP's Navaratna Plus manifesto, the stage is set for an engaging electoral battle. It remains to be seen how the opposition parties, particularly the TDP alliance, will respond and what promises they will offer to the electorate.
