Jagan slams Cong, TDP for divisive politics

Pathikonda (Chittoor district), December 27: Continuing his tirade against the Congress and TDP leadership, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has said they are playing divisive and dangerous politics with the singular motive of gaining votes and seats unmindful of the hardships people of the region would face should the State be divided.

'We have to stay united and reject outright the proposals of Sonia Gandhi to divide the State and the moves of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu in helping her in the process besides thwarting their dubious designs,' he said while addressing a large gathering here on Friday.

Resuming his Samaikya Sankharavam, in the home district of Kiran Kumar Reddy and N Chandrababu Naidu, he appealed to the people to question the two leaders when they come here as to where will the farmers get water from if the State is divided and where will the youth look for jobs if Hyderabad is torn apart from this region.

'This is fight between Telugu self-pride and Delhi arrogance and we should teach the treacherous leaders of Congress and TDP and fitting lesson by winning 30 MPs seats in the elections, which are very close at hand. Then we shall see who will divide the State,' he said amidst a big round of applause from the audience.

Chandrababu Naidu, who meets the President, does not speak of Samaikyandhra nor does he give a letter supporting a united state. He even does not utter the word of Samaikyandhra and continues his dual theory with utmost absurdity.

Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is also son of the soil, does not lag behind in the deception drama. He tries to wear the garb of an integrationist but has been helping the high command in all respects to expedite the division process, he said.

They have only short term and petty goals before them and are helping Delhi to bifurcate the State. The water issue has a larger consequence and the State will turn into a desert if it is divided. They are not concerned about it or the welfare of people but are looking for a few votes and seats and they should be thought a fitting lesson. We have to stand for value based politics unlike Congress and TDP that are prepared to stoop to any level for petty gains.

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, who has undertaken the State-wide Samaikya Sankharavam yatra from Kuppam to Srikakulam with the slogan of a united state, said that Chittoor district which has a population of 45 lakhs will echo the slogan of Samaikyandhra in toto.

'Unfortunately natives of the land Kiran Kumar Reddy and N Chandrababu Naidu are unable to hear that and understand the feelings of the locals. It is not to their concern and when elections come you have to pay back with equal measure give the mandate to YSRCP which is for Samaikayndhra,' he said.

Playing to the gallery, he asked pointed questions to the gathering whether they agree for division of the state and the public replied in unison as 'no' with matching gestures. As per his schedule, he is to tour various places in Palamaneru Assembly constituency and unveil YSR statues at two places.
