TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday, 25 March, said women’s empowerment is possible only with his party coming to power in Andhra Pradesh and alleged that the ruling YSRCP revoked all welfare schemes that were implemented by his government.

Addressing a meeting of women in his home constituency— Kuppam— the Opposition leader alleged the southern state has become a hub for ganja (marijuana) and other drugs.

“The state government is giving just ₹100 per beneficiary of various schemes but looting ₹1,000 from them through highly-priced essentials like petrol, diesel, and other commodities, including power tariff hike,” Naidu charged.

Further, Naidu vowed to stand by women to see that their financial position improved. The former chief minister said he had come to take their blessings.

According to Naidu, people who are voting for YSRCP are “simply betraying society” and claimed that people are ready to defeat Reddy.

Later, he addressed a rally and alleged there is no safety for anybody’s property in the state under the YSRCP rule.

He called on Kuppam constituency voters to ensure a big win for him in the forthcoming Assembly elections and asserted there was no development in the constituency from 2019 to 2024.

Moreover, he expressed confidence that the NDA will return to power at the Centre by winning more than 400 Lok Sabha seats and noted that TDP should win more than 160 Assembly seats in the state.

He stressed that for the development of the state, the Centre’s cooperation is needed.

The simultaneous Assembly and Lok Sabha polls for 175 Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh are scheduled on 13 May and the results will be declared on 4 June.
