Mr.
Jagan charged the Congress and TDP with hatching conspiracies, saying
they were showing impatience at the emergence of a third party. “They
are not happy that a third person has come. People are disappointed with
this kind of bankrupt politics,” he added.
In an unsparing attack on rival parties, YSR Congress
Party president and Kadapa MP, Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, said that poor
people and farmers were putting a lot of hope in his party as they were
let down by the Congress as well as the Telugu Desam Party.
Mr.
Jagan said that the Kovur by-election had become necessary as there was
a dire need to bring about a change in the present system which was
being exploited by parties, which do not have values and credibility.
In
his speeches, Mr. Jagan accused the Congress and TDP of colluding with
each other, as the people had lost hope in the TDP striving for solving
their problems as the main opposition party. This was why the YSR
Congress preferred a by-election though it looked difficult in present
circumstances, he added.
In a sober but tough tone,
Mr. Jagan said there was nobody to pay heed to the problems of farmers
and farm labourers who were getting less than Rs. 70 per day after a
hard day's labour in farms under the hot sun. “Nobody listens to their
needs such as their children's education, etc. The 108 ambulance which
used to arrive in 20 minutes of a call is now doubtful whether it will
come even after three hours,” he added.
On
the first day of his 3-day road show in Kodavalur mandal in Kovur
Assembly segment on Monday, Mr. Jagan addressed people in Kodavalur,
Gundalammapalem, Basavayapalem and other villages. Women and members of
the minority community were seen in good numbers at his meetings.
Mr.
Jagan explained that Mr. Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy resigned
only after he explained to him about the need to give meaning to
value-based politics and show how the YSR Congress should grow like a
“tulasi” plant when other parties were indulging in retrograde politics.
YSR
Congress nominee N. Prasanna Kumar Reddy, former MP Mekapati Rajamohan
Reddy, former Zilla Parishad chairman Kakani Govardhan Reddy, Kotamreddy
Sridhar Reddy and others were present.
