TDP policies anti-people: YS Jagan

Lambasting the TDP government for its apathy towards weavers, farmers, women, students, pensioners and other sections of the society, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that there weavers were committing suicides as the TDP Government has failed to keep up its poll promises.

"There have been 16 suicides from the weaving community in this Dharmavaram constituency alone during the 20 months of TDP coming to power, mainly due to the government going back on its poll promises," the Leader of Opposition said during a public interaction here on Thursday as part of the Rythu Bharosa Yatra.
Chandrababu Naidu has assured to provide housing, sheds, power, waiver of loans and 1.5 lakh interest-free loans to weavers but none of the promises was fulfilled. This has pushed the weaving community into penury resulting in the suicides, he said.
Before elections, Chandrababu Naidu went on a promises spree announcing that he would waive loans of farmers and DWCRA groups, besides sops to weavers, jobs to youth and unemployment stipend. After coming to power he did not fulfill a single poll promise and had ditched all sections of people. The YSR Congress Party President has called on to the dais locals to narrate their plight and they poured out their woes and flayed Chandrababu Naidu for the failure to keep up his promises. Farmers, weavers, women have narrated their plight as to how they were deprived of loans and were rejected by the banks. They have also brought to light the discrimination being meted out on them as they voted for YSR Congress during the previous elections.
