Tirupati, March 1 : In a vitriolic attack on Congress, BJP and TDP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has blamed the three parties for dividing the State undemocratically and said only YSR Congress has the moral right to seek votes on a positive note as it was the voice of the people.
We need to usher in value based politics and breathe ethics into the political system which has decayed badly of late and YSRCP seeks a decisive mandate to roll in the golden era of a welfare State, he said and called upon the people to reject Congress and TDP that have been playing divisive politics.
“Congress has ganged up with BJP at the Centre and with TDP in the State and have split the State into two giving scant respect to the sentiments of the people and as they have nothing to speak about their achievements they are seeking votes on a negative campaign mode.
The wisdom of the people should prevail in the elections, schedule of which will be announced in less than a week and support YSRCP which has been with the people all the time and has consistently opposed the state division,” he said while launching the poll campaign in the name of YSR Jana Bheri here on Sunday.
Despite a sore throat, he said: “The Congress is not seeking votes in return to the sops it has given to farmers, students and women groups, it is not asking to vote for them as they have reduced the power tariff and RTC bus fares but it is going to people for being successful in whipping regional passions and pitting Telugu people against each other by dividing the state.
Sonia and Sushma Swaraj (Mata, Mausi) have been seeking votes for dividing the state while TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu is also staking claim for helping them in the division process by giving a letter to split the state and his MPs had cast the first vote to carve the new state.
Chandrababu Naidu has been seeking votes not on the merits of his nine year rule and the sops he has given to various sections of the people but has been asking for his share for helping Congress and BJP in the division process.
On the other hand YSR Congress has been of the view that the state would develop fast if it is united. The youth would get jobs if capital city, airports and sea ports are in one state, farmers and students would benefit from Kuppam to Srikakulam. We fought till the last post but Congress has ganged up with the principal opposition BJP at the Centre and TDP in the State to divide the state.
In the backdrop of this irrational division where farmers would be unable to draw required water and students will be deprived of jobs, we are going to elections. Congress and TDP have nothing to speak of their achievements and seek votes.
YSR Congress is with the people and together we shall bring in the golden era where all sections would be happy and justice would be done to all regions.
It is only YSRCP that understands the sentiments of the people and it is the voice of the people. The intimacy should reflect in the mandate to keep the State prosperous, he said in a brief speech which lasted for ten minutes.
Recalling the various programmes he began from this city, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said, Odarpu Yatra is in the last phases in Chittoor district. Samaikya Sankaravam and Poru Bata were also also launched from here. There was a huge gathering and the rally was well attended. (INN)
