People Won’t Buy Chandrababu’s Lies Anymore: Mekapati

Visakhapatnam: YSRCP MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy lambasted Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu for cheating people of the state with respect to the Special Category Status (SCS). For the last four years, Chandrababu has put the state's pride at stake by striking a deal with BJP and cheating the 5 crore Telugus, he said.

"How could you call it 'Dharma Porata Deeksha' when you have been treading the adharma path all this while. Initially you said SCS is not required but later now you made a total u-turn and now holding deekshas to decieve people," said Mekapati.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to fulfill the promises made to state at the time of bifurcation, Chandrababu instead of demanding SCS was willing to settle for a special package, he said, adding that TDP MPs had enjoyed their plum posts at the Centre for four years and were now resorting to dramas.

He also emphasized the fact that it was YSRCP under the guidance of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy which is the only party to be relentlessly fighting for Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh. He added that, YS Jagan, party leaders and workers have been fighting continuously to keep the SCS momentum alive. The YSRCP MP further said that Chandrababu was synonymous with betrayal.

He also slammed Chandrababu's remarks asking for 25 Parliament seats from the people to achieve SCS. "Chandrababu has never fulfilled a single promise of the 600 promises made before elections," he said, adding that Chandrababu had cheated farmers, DWCRA women and the unemployed youth. The public will never buy Chandrababu's lies anymore, said Mekapati.

The YSRCP MP asked people to teach Chandrababu a lesson this time. He sought the support of the masses for YS Jagan saying given a chance, the YSRCP president will sure live to the expectations of people and match or even surpass his late father YSR in excellence.
