YSR Congress president and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy reiterated that people have been vexed with coalition governance in just six months as it has failed on all fronts and it is time we speak up against the false propaganda and diversion politics.
Addressing the local bodies leaders from Prakasam district, Jagan Mohan Reddy accused Naidu of engaging in diversion politics to cover up the coalition failures and we have taken up the agitation path to highlight the anti-people policies.
The coalition has failed to implement in election promises and failed to make budgetary allocations while in contrast in our term we have given annual welfare calendar with dates and strictly followed it in the DBT format to avoid corruption and middlemen.
The coalition on the other hand has done away with all the welfare schemes we have implemented with farmers not getting MSP and paddy procurement not being taken up. Fees reimbursement was not given affecting the students and power charges are increased burdening the people.
He underscored the YSRCP’s governance record, which focused on transparency, welfare, and infrastructure development, including the RBKs, door-to-door rice distribution reforms, and infrastructure projects like medical colleges, Ramatayapatnam Port and Veligonda irrigation tunnels.
Addressing the controversy over rice distribution, Jagan questioned how the opposition could spread false claims when the central and state machinery, including customs and security, remains under their control. He accused Finance Minister P. Keshav’s relatives of monopolising rice exports while misrepresenting facts. Under the YSRCP, rice was directly delivered to beneficiaries, eliminating corruption. He noted that the current government has reversed these reforms, reintroducing dealer-based distribution, low-quality rice, and ration mafia practices.
He blamed the coalition government for burdening people with taxes and escalating electricity tariffs by over Rs 15,000 crores. “Chandrababu’s idea of wealth creation is exploitation and burdening the common man,” Jagan remarked, referring to Naidu’s governance as “tax-heavy and oppressive.” He accused Naidu of privatizing public assets like ports and medical colleges.
YSRCP announced a series of campaigns, including a farmers’ support programme on December 13, a protest against electricity tariffs on December 27, and a rally on January 3 to address fee reimbursement delays. Jagan urged party members to strengthen grassroots connections and actively counter misinformation through social media.
“This fight isn’t just against an opposition leader but against a machinery of lies,” Jagan said, affirming his confidence in the YSRCP’s return to power through trust and credibility.
