Chandrababu Playing Every Trick Of The Trade To Win Nandyal By-Election 

Nandyal: Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is apparently trying every trick to win the Nandyal by-elections as a defeat in this election would demoralize the party and trigger an anti-establishment sentiment throughout state.

During his visit to Nandyal on Saturday, Naidu showered a bundle of sops for the voters and unveiled a slew of projects for the development of poll-bound constituency. Obviously with a view to pamper the media, Naidu announced construction of three-bedroom houses for the journalists free of cost.

“I promise that our government will construct three bed room houses for all the journalists by next year. And I will fulfill the promise,” he said.

But the reporters present did not believe his words and there was no response from them. Then Naidu requested them to show their happiness in the form of claps. And the journalists had no option but to cheer him loudly.

The CM was clever enough to leave a confusion in his promise - it was not clear whether all the journalists in the state would be given three bed-room houses or the sop was limited only to Nandyal constituency. Whatever it is, media persons did not seem to have taken his promis seriously as they have seen leaders making several such promises which were never fulfilled.

Naidu Promises The Moon To Nandyal Voters

A desperate Chandrababu was camping in Nandyal for two days even before the notification was issued for by-election. He ordered officials to speed up the construction of houses sanctioned to beneficiaries. He directed to ensure facilitating tap connections to every house in rural and urban areas besides supplying 20 litres purified drinking water at Rs2 per litre.

In a review meeting held with district officials at Roads and Buildings (R&B) Guest House on Sunday, the CM told the officials that Nandyal has to be beautified like Visakhapatnam. He also ordered the concerned officials to ensure steps for facilitating fiber grid at every village in the constituency.

The CM directed to replace electric poles wherever necessary during the road widening works in the town. Tourism Minister Bhuma Akhila Priya, Information and Technology Minister Kalva Srinivasulu, Minister for Agriculture Somireddy Chandra Mohan Reddy, District Collector S Sathya Narayana, Joint Collector Prasanna Venkatesh and other district officials and contractors participated in the meeting.

Later, the CM also participated in TDP activists’ meeting in the same place and suggested them to be alert on public issues. He said that all problems of people should be solved with the coordination of officials and good relations should be maintained with common man.

Chandrababu's Iftar Politics

Chandrababu Naidu while participating in an Iftar party hosted by government at a whopping Rs90 lakh during the Ramzan month in Nandyal had announced several schemes for Muslims. Forgetting the reglious importance of the occasion for Muslims, Chandrababu openly asked the Muslims to vote for TDP's Nandyal bypoll candidate Brahmananda Reddy. He promised to construct 13,000 houses for people in Nandyal.
