CM, Naidu betrayers of Samaikhyandhra: YSRCP

Hyderabad, Oct 22 (INN): YSR Congress has said that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and TDP leader N Chadnrababu Naidu are betrayers of Samaikhyandhra and are misleading the people by false promises on one hand and are making a vain bid to play down the October 26 Samaikhya Sankaravam meet.

'While the Samaikhaya Sankaravam meet to be addressed by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is getting all round support from employees, activists, women groups , student unions and various other organizations, TDP leaders are making a meek attempt by issuing directives to people to keep away from the meeting.

These cheap tricks will not work as the two leaders are thoroughly exposed in the public eye by their dubious stand and double speak and they stand as betrayers of Samaikhyandhra movement,' party official spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told reporters here on Tuesday.

The two leaders have been misleading the public on various counts. While Chief Minister has been carrying out the carrot and stick policy on employees as directed by the high command, Naidu has been speaking in terms of package only to help Delhi to speed up the division process, she said.

Any leader approaching the Group of Ministers (GoM) amounts to accepting the division process and MPs, Union Ministers and State leaders meeting the GoM time and again makes it clear that they are willfully helping the Centre to divide the state. Only YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has taken the stand to fight for the cause of a united state.

He has given a call to all parties to join the fight in keeping the state united. Presently, three parties YSRCP, MIM and CPI (M) are opposing the division and five parties are supporting the separate state.

If TDP leader withdraws his letter and accepts the united state slogan the number will increase and the ratio will reverse with five parties opposing the division, she said.

Instead, TDP is resorting to cheap tactics of asking people to boycott Samaikhya Sankaravam and such strategy will always fire-back.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy popularity is on the rise as he has been fighting for the people problems while the State has been burdening the common man with more taxes and hike of power tariff and other charges.

'The state government is trying to unplug the free power scheme by linking it to cash transfer scheme and slowly washing its hands off all subsidies. N Chandababu Naidu during his term acted as an agent of World Bank and took several anti-people decisions and the Kiran Kumar Reddy government is following his example.

Even in the thick of winter, the State has been resorting to power cuts and industrial units are closing down rendering many jobless. If this is the situation in October how will it be in summer is anybody's guess.

The Chief Minister is trying to push the power crisis under the carpet by raising the false banner of a united state and Chandrababu Naidu too has failed in his duty as a leader of opposition in highlighting power crisis in the state. Naidu is busy leveling false propaganda against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, she said.
