The YSR Congress has charged Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu with pursuing his personal agenda rather than people’s welfare in the new State.
YSRC MLA R.K. Roja launched a tirade against the Chief Minister claiming that Mr. Naidu and his son Lokesh had institutionalised corruption in the new State. The government had failed to deliver on its promises made to the people before elections and it was now trying to promote liquor consumption and other vices for filling the empty coffers of the State.
The government, which was promoting opening up of liquor outlets and “belt shops” indiscriminately, was not taking adequate interest in ensuring safety of women. There was a sense of insecurity among the women following incidents like the suicide by student Rishiteswari and attack on MRO Vanajakshi by a ruling party MLA and his henchmen.
She ridiculed the government’s call for observing ‘Nava Nirmana Deeksha’ coinciding with the State formation day at a time when the State moved backwards on all fronts. “It is shameful that the government organised week-long celebrations in the name of Nava Nirmana Deeksha at a time when all its activities are destructive,” she said.
Cheating cases against Chief Minister
Meanwhile, the YSR Congress decided to file cheating cases against the Chief Minister in all police stations across the State for his failure to fulfil the promises made before the elections. The party decided to embark upon the protest to highlight “the failures and the deceptive attitude of the government.”
“Mr. Chandrababu Naidu has wilfully defaulted on poll promises. He was even questioned by the Election Commission on the spree of promises being made by his party to the people during electioneering,” party spokesman K. Parthasarathy said.
