Both Congress, TDP failed to help poor: Jagan
Khammam: YSR Congress party chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Wednesday hit out at the Congress, saying its leaders, while claiming credit for the State's division, had no guts to approach the poor 'for having failed to do anything for their uplift'.
Addressing 'YSR Janabheri' public meeting at the pavilion grounds, here, he said although both the Congress and the TDP, 'by their conspiracy politics', could divide both the State and its people, they were unable to wipe out the admiration for Y S Rajasekhar Reddy among the masses.
Jagan charged the Congress with resorting to 'demeaning politics', getting false cases registered against him and even sending him to jail with the sole aim of finishing his career. He criticised the Telugu Desam for failing as the main Opposition to stand by the people. 'It has lost courage to approach people for votes.'
The YSRCP president defended his support for Samaikyandhra, as it would ensure people's progress. 'Is it wrong to have such hope.' he wondered. He vowed that the party would work for the development of both the Telangana and AP State, backing people of the two regions.
The young MP bemoaned absence of leaders with values, honesty and trustworthiness. 'There are no leaders who stand by their assurances.' Party district unit president Payam Venkateswarlu chaired the public meeting, where Jagan announced the candidature of Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy as the YSRCP Khammam Lok Sabha candidate. This effectively ended the debate over his sister Sharmila being fielded as the party nominee.
Srinivas Reddy, former MLC Rahman, party leaders Nalla Suryaprakash Rao, Gattu Ramachander Rao, Janak Prasad were among those who attended the meeting.
