YCP chief and former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy lamented that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is backing off from presenting a regular Budget only to avoid his poll promises.
“If he presents a regular Budget then he has to show the fake promises he had made during polls in the regular Budget. If those super six promises do not reflect, he (Naidu) thought people will open their mouths,” he said.
Recalling during the elections, Chandrababu promised the “Super Six” schemes, he asked what happened to them? Where are the announced schemes? Where is Talli Ki Vandana? Where are the three free LPG cylinders? What happened to the monthly Rs 1500 for women above 18 years old?
He demanded that these details should be cleared. He accused Chandrababu Naidu for making unfulfilled promises during the elections just to secure votes and failing to implement them now. He accused Naidu of deceiving people under the guise of initiatives like “Talli Ki Vandanam.” Furthermore, he expressed concern over the neglect of farmers in the state.
Jaganmohan Reddy said that people will wait to see if they will receive the money promised during the elections which is allegedly making Naidu to create a fear psychosis in the State so that people will not come on to the roads to protest.
Recently, the Chief Minister announced in the Assembly that the State Budget will be presented after two months due to ‘financial constraints’. Questioning if the State is moving forward or going back 52 days after the declaration of the election results, Jagan alleged atrocities such as murders, rapes and destruction of assets were rampant.
He alleged that victims were being booked while the police department was playing the role of a spectator under the allegedly oppressive rule of the TDP-led government, which also includes the BJP and the Janasena.
He alleged that the state is witnessing a barbaric rule. Can no one question the implementation of promises? There is now a public debate about governance in the state, he added.
