YSRCP’s sole agenda is to prevent local body elections through violence: CM Chandrababu Naidu

the NDA coalition government was functioning constitutionally and in the public interest. He appealed to voters to assess the track records of political parties and support those who had worked for public welfare.

The Chief Minister alleged that the YSRCP’s sole agenda was to prevent local body elections and its leaders were resorting to violence to obstruct the democratic process.He claimed that Telugu Desam Party (TDP) workers had been targeted in attacks both in the past and at present, alleging that YSRCP members were attacking TDP workers and subsequently portraying themselves as victims. He maintained that the police had provided adequate security to YSRCP candidates to file their nominations, yet the party continued to approach courts with what he described as baseless petitions and complaints. Referring to the previous government’s tenure, the Chief Minister questioned the circumstances under which all 33 seats in Pulivendula were reportedly elected unanimously. He also cited figures stating that 79 per cent of MPTC seats and 76 per cent of ZPTC seats in Kadapa district had been won unanimously during the earlier local body elections.Accusing Jagan Mohan Reddy of double standards, Chandrababu Naidu said the YSRCP president was criticising others despite the allegations levelled against his own party’s conduct during its tenure.

The Chief Minister said people in Kuppam had always exercised their voting rights freely and claimed that candidates had also filed nominations without obstruction in Pithapuram and Mangalagiri.He further questioned Jagan Mohan Reddy’s attitude towards family property disputes, referring to allegations that he had prevented his sister from receiving a share of property left by their father.

The Chief Minister said Andhra Pradesh had the resources needed for progress and that the key was to utilise them effectively. He said the coalition government was committed to providing the leadership required to achieve the State’s development goals.He reiterated that the public should examine the track records of political leaders, protect democratic values and support efforts aimed at development and public welfare.
