In alleged war over ‘pro-poor YSRCP and hypocrites’, ‘lion’ Jagan promises to take on ‘political wolves’

All sections of society including SCs, STs, BCs and Minorities are backing YSRCP and people are the backbone of his party, he said, making it clear that YSRCP doesn’t fear the wolves parading together.

He said that the state was witnessing not a caste war but a class war between the pro-poor YSRCP government and political backstabbers and hypocrites enjoying the support of the capitalists.

He warned that he would take on the “Gang of Four” that looted the state lock, stock and barrel during the TDP rule and Chandrababu Naidu’s foster son who has no guts and wits to question the robbers.

He called upon people to choose between the YSRCP — which he said stands by its commitment and is implementing its election manifesto in letter and spirit — and political hypocrites led by the TDP, which he said pursued a policy of plunder, stash, and devour, like robbers.

Instead of questioning the TDP which looted and cheated every section of the society during its rule, the “foster son” — an oblique reference to Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan — has been supporting them for selfish reasons, he remarked, adding that people were aware of the cunningness and ulterior designs of the political thieves.

Asking the people not to be misled by the propaganda of political adversaries, Jagan appealed to them to stand by the YSRCP.
