Jagan accuses AP coalition govt of rampant corruption, nepotism; says all sections cheated

Tadepalli: YSRCP President and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has reiterated that the coalition government has acquired an unprecedented anti-incumbency factor in a short time, with all sections of people being cheated, added to the rampant corruption and nepotism, besides deterioration of law and order.

Govt resorting to vindictive politics

Addressing the party’s extended meeting, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the coalition has failed on fronts and is resorting to vindictive politics and assured the cadre and leaders that the digital book of the party will record all the data of harassment and will settle the account in the coming days.

Speaking on major issues in the meeting, attended by MLAs, MLCs, coordinators of Parliament and Assembly constituencies, district presidents and regional coordinators, he said, all sectors, including medical, education, agriculture and law and order, have performed poorly under the coalition government, and in 15 months, people are vexed with the government.

‘Promises of Super Six flop show’

The promises of Super Six before the polls and those on the celebrations of Super Six success, which was a flop show, have changed, which has clearly irked the people, as they feel cheated.

Three of the major promises, unemployment stipend, Stri Nidhi and pensions to women below the age of 50, have disappeared, evoking resentment among various sections of people.

All systems are being manipulated, and the government is joining hands with middlemen who are making merry with the shortage of urea while farmers are in distress. Urea is being sold at a premium. Such things did not happen during the YSRCP regime.

Public health neglected

CM Chandrababu has been hinting that rice should be used only for making ethanol, making his intentions clear. Besides paddy, no other crop is getting MSP. During our regime, we have spent Rs 7,800 crore on price stabilisation.

Public health has been neglected while we spend Rs 450 crore annually, he said.

Medical colleges are being privatised, while we have planned one medical college in every district to take care of the medical needs of the poor, besides putting a check on the exploitation of private hospitals and getting more medical seats.

On Amaravati, it is said that Rs 1 lakh crore is needed, but CM Chandrababu has spent mere Rs 5,000 crore and there is no clue as to where the remaining amount will come.

Does the city need another 50,000 acres and why are they not investing for medical colleges? he asked.

‘Rampant corruption’

There is rampant corruption in land, liquor, gravel, quartz, and PPAs are made to buy power at Rs 4.50 per unit.

In all the deals, the government is not getting revenue, but prices are going up as the money is going into the pockets of those in power. During our term, we earned Rs 750 crores annually from sand, but there is revenue.

The party supports its leaders and cadre all the time.

With a 40 per cent vote share, we are forced to reckon with and all committees should be formed by December 15, and they will be given ID cards, and their turn will come as good days are ahead. Wings of students, women, youth, SC, BC, Farmers, Social Media, and the like should be set up, he said.
