Justice to the downtrodden sections of society is possible only under the NDA regime and people should vote out UPA government, Manda Krishna Madiga said.
Addressing mediapersons here on Saturday, Mr. Krishna Madiga said he and his community would support BJP nominee for Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha K Haribabu and the NDA across the country. In the State they would support the TDP-BJP-Jana Sena alliance, he said.
Minister in Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy government M Mareppa, who quit the YSRC, joined the BJP along with former IAS officer Rosaiah on the occasion.
Mr. Mareppa said YSRC president Jaganmohan Reddy had a ‘use and throw’ policy which was evident in the way he dumped a number of YSRC loyalists. Only those who have money have been given tickets by the YSRC, he added. He lashed out at Vijayamma saying that she could only read out a written script and could not be expected to do justice to the people who elected her.
Entry of Mr. Mareppa would strengthen the BJP, Mr. Haribabu said and asked him to work for the victory of the NDA in the elections.
Later, Mr. Krishna Madiga called on BJP candidate for Visakha North Assembly segment P. Vishnu kumar Raju and said he was impressed with the honesty and simplicity of the person. He urged everyone to vote for him and help the BJP throw out the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre.
