Promising to go a step further than his father in serving the people, Leader of the Opposition and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday sought the blessings of the people. He was speaking at a public meeting at Madigubba cross in Raptadu mandal where the Muslim population is more.

“Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has promised to allocate ₹2,500 crore for minorities. Similarly, he made several promises to the community and none of them was fulfilled,” Mr. Reddy alleged and questioned the gathering whether Mr. Naidu be given another chance to rule the State.

 

“For the minority children to become engineers and doctors, it costs lakhs of rupees. But the Chandrababu Naidu government gives them only ₹35,000,” said Mr. Reddy and promised to bear the entire cost of higher education of the minorities once he comes to power.

He further said that one of the major issue ailing the minority community was the healthcare and the present government had totally failed on this aspect.
