YSR Congress president and Kadapa MP Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy came down heavily on the Congress and the Telugu Desam, stating that the ruling and opposition parties had colluded in state politics.
Mr Jagan addressed various road shows as part of the byelection campaign in Anantapur town on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that government and the opposition had colluded and were foisting cases against Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy. Mr Jagan alleged that Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy had allocated five areas worth crores of rupees in Ameerpet, Hyderabad to TD president N. Chandrababu Naidu as a goodwill gesture.
The YSR Congress chief also criticised the CBI, stating that the premier investigative agency was adopting double standards. He said that the CBI had found fault with land given on 25 year lease to a company for setting up factories in Mahbubnagar district when Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy was chief minister and had started investigating into the land dealing. However, it had not taken up investigation into Chandrababu Naidu allocating 535 acres of prime land in Hyderabad for construction of luxury villages at a cost of Rs 29 lakh per acre when the market value was a whopping Rs 4 crore per acre, said Mr Jagan.
“Funds are not released for operations for the poor. Welfare programme are completely neglected,” he said, stating that the byelections will herald a new beginning in state politics. YSR Congress Anantapur candidate B. Gurunath Reddy was also present.
