Telugu Desam Party State president and Gajuwaka MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao said it was shameful on the part of former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to call on former MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy, who was purportedly caught on camera while damaging an EVM, at Nellore jail.
As the president of a political party (YSR Congress Party), Mr. Jagan should be a role model but he blatantly supported Ramakrishna Reddy. By doing so, Mr. Jagan proved that he would never change his mindset, Mr. Srinivasa Rao observed.
Addressing a press conference at the party office near Mangalagiri in Guntur district on Friday, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said it was ridiculous that Mr. Jagan attributed the NDA allies’ victory in general elections to deceptive promises.
In fact, he said, it was Mr. Jagan who cheated people in the last five years by increasing the prices and looting the State’s resources.
Mr. Srinivasa Rao alleged that Mr. Jagan had failed to fulfil his promises, including the development of the capital Amaravati, which caused immense hardships to the land givers and affected the State’s future.
He accused Mr. Jagan of indulging in criminal activities and having a history of deceit. It was during the YSRCP regime that the Polavaram project was destroyed, the TDP leader alleged.
Mr. Jagan did not respect the decisions taken by the TDP government on the floor of the Assembly, Mr. Srinivasa Rao alleged.
It was strange that Mr. Jagan flew in a chopper to Nellore at a cost of ₹25 lakh to meet Ramakrishna Reddy, who has a criminal record, in jail but had not rushed to Pulivendula after Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s murder came to light, Mr. Srinivasa Rao said.
