TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday, 29 April, claimed that the days of the ruling YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh are numbered.

Addressing an election campaign meeting at Dhone, he attacked YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and asked if there was any chief minister in the country who did not go to the Secretariat during the entire five-year tenure.

“Is (there) any chief minister in the country who did not go to the Secretariat during the entire five-year tenure? Did the Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy build any project in the state in these five years and provide a single job for anyone,” asked Naidu.

According to the TDP chief, Reddy mortgaged people’s health by failing to clear ₹1,500 crore worth of dues pending under the Aarogyasri scheme to hospitals.

Further, the former CM promised that he would “never” revise the power tariff if he won the elections and assured that there would be no power cuts.

He also promised a better pay revision commission for government employees and would come to the rescue of minorities.

Naidu alleged that YSRCP leaders are destroying all the “systems” and called upon people to drive out such leaders who “ruined” their lives under the false impression that political power is permanent.

The TDP supremo also promised to totally resolve the drinking water crisis in Dhone area by supplying Handri-Neeva project water, and added that the forthcoming polls are a battle between his vision and the “hatred followed by Jagan”.

The TDP, BJP and Jana Sena are NDA alliance partners in the southern state.

Elections for the 175-member Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh are scheduled on 13 May.
