YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Y.S. Sharmila has warned that voting the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to power would result in the development of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) going back by 25 years. She said it was up to the people to choose between her brother Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, who she contended practised politics of ethics and has a clear vision for the State, and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who she alleged had failed to fulfil even one of the 600 promises he made during the 2014 elections.
Ms. Sharmila said it was due to the vociferous protests by Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy against the denial of the Special Category Status (SCS) by the Central government that Mr. Naidu had taken a ‘U-turn’ and challenged him to prove otherwise. She also questioned the reason for Mr. Naidu’s inability to complete the construction of at least one permanent building in the capital Amaravati.
Addressing mediapersons at the State party office here on Monday, Ms. Sharmila said her father and former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR) had won the people’s trust by doing justice to every section of society whereas Mr. Naidu ‘deceived the masses on various counts’.
