Minister Nara Lokesh came under fire over former Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s ‘fake campaign’ that he was buying sewing machines with government money and dyeing them yellow. He accused that during the YCP regime, they only made it their job to loot people’s money. He made it clear that they had no intention of stealing people’s money.
He said that even when he was not an MLA, he helped the people of Mangalagiri with financial assistance from his pocket. He took to social media to slam Jagan, saying, “Stop spreading fake propaganda.”
“Jagan garu, you have been in power for five years, leaving the people in the lurch and looting their money. I was not even an MLA then. As TDP leader, which was born for the people, I have decided to help the people of my Mangalagiri constituency with my own money. I have helped women, handloom weavers, goldsmiths and small traders with necessary materials and financial assistance”, he said.
“Regardless of caste and religion, I have given free training to thousands of women who want to stand on their own feet in the name of women empowerment. After completion, I provided certificates, a free sewing mission, and material. We started the Mangalagiri Stree Shakti Kendra on June 20, 2022. So far, 2226 people have completed training in this center in 43 batches, and we have distributed missions to all of them”, he added.
Moreover, he said the Stree Shakti Kendra in Tadepalli was started on February 1, 2023, where missions were given free of cost to 666 people who took training in 17 batches. In the Stree Shakti Kendra that was started in Duggirala on April 10, 2023, he said 616 people completed training in 16 batches and missions distributed to all of them.
“So far, we have completed the training of 3508 people and provided quality sewing missions free of cost. All this is money taken from my pocket, money spent from my accounts. I have given missions in the yellow color of my party, which is a sign of auspiciousness. We do not want to put party colors and your names on the schemes launched with people’s money like you. Your lie is temporary. Our truth is eternal,” Lokesh added.
