Watch CM Jagan's Speech: Memantha Siddham, Palnadu

Memantha Saddham at Piduguralla, Palnadu: CM Jagan Speech Highlights

- Thank you all for coming out like an ocean of support for me. Are you all Siddham (ready) for a war against evil, darkness, conspiracies and deceit?

- This is not just an election to elect MLAs and MPs, it is an election where you will decide whether the assurance given to farmers, the empowerment of women, the education of children should continue or go be engulfed into darkness.

- Your future is in your hands. So my only request is for you to make an informed decision. Have a detailed discussion with your family and decide which path to choose.

- Today, let's dig out facts about Chandrababu…Do you know how lies are propagated by panchmedia? This yellow media joining hands with Chandrababu is such a dangerous scenario because when they come together, they collectively try to portray a donkey as a horse. This is the politics of conspiracy and lies

- Despite what all we have done in these 5 years, yellow media and Chandrababu continue to be delusional. They claim that if you vote for Babu, you will get a job. Can Chandrababu explain, when he was CM for 14 years - did any of you get a government job under him?

- After your Jagan came to power, we gave jobs to 1,30,000 people in Village and Ward Secretariats. If you visit a government hospital, you will notice how we have filled 54,000 posts in the health sector where there were no facilities, no doctors, no nurses.

- Overall 2,31,000 people have got jobs in these 58 months. During Chandrababu’s tenure, this number was 32,000. The comparison is in front of you. Who wants jobs now? Vote for a job, vote for fan or do you want a rusty cycle to win?

- Babu is giving a bogus report, Jagan is giving you an honest progress report which is there for you to see physically and verify. With Vahana Mitra we are giving assurance with zero interest to our driver friends. Today 4 new sea ports, 3 industrial corridors, 5 fishing harbours are being constructed…Because of all these things, Andhra Pradesh is No. 1 in the country in ‘Ease of doing business’ category

- Babu, who did not do anything in the past, is giving a fake promise that he will do more good to farmers. But my question is, what did you do for farmers when you were CM for 14 years Chandrababu?

- Chandrababu perhaps is the only CM who said that agriculture is the real power, but when electricity is given to farmers, Chandrababu has a problem. Babu even set up a special court to try the farmers

- In the 2014 manifesto, Naidu promised to waive farmers’ loans. Did he do it? He said that free electricity will be given to farmers for 12 hours during the day. Who paid for arrears on input subsidy, bills and for purchase of seeds?

- I became CM for the first time but in just 58 months,I have helped every household. It is only the YSRCP government that is providing farmers with investment assistance like no one, and every farmer is getting Rs 67,500 per year. He (CBN) said that he will give Rs 50,000 but it was me who gave Rs 67,000. It was ’Mee Bidda’ who provided free electricity for 9 hours during the day by spending Rs 17,000 crores. For the first time we brought Rythu Bharosa Kendra in our village and it became a role model in the country

- Farmers started getting free crop insurance only after I came to power. Free crop insurance for farmers is not mentioned in the manifesto but I did it for the good of the farmers. We have given Rs  64,000 crores of grain through RBKs. In fact, in most cases, we have given more than the MSP and we have also supported the farmers who don’t fall in the required category. 35 lakh house pattas with permanent rights have been given to the poor. Is that a wrong thing? Village Secretariats, Nadu-Nedu schools, hospitals, village clinics are all the developments visible at the village level

- Earlier, could you think of any scheme being distributed without discrimination or without paying a bride? No! But after I came to power, I established secretariats and brought in the volunteer system. By clicking 130 buttons, I was able to transfer Rs. 2.7 lakh crores directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries during these 58 months
