Telugu Desam Party chief N
Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday alleged that the people of Andhra Pradesh were now facing misery after giving Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy "one chance" to rule the state.
Addressing a public meeting at the launch of the TDP's Praja Chaitanya Yatra in Prakasam district, Naidu said, "He (Jagan) has asked for one chance and you gave him by voting the YSR Congress to power. You are now left to suffer (misery)."
"Development of any sort has come to a standstill. Welfare (of people) is neglected. Industrial investments to the tune of Rs 1.80 lakh crore have gone away from the state," the Leader of the Opposition claimed.
Referring to the 75 per cent job reservation for (AP) locals in industries, Chandrababu wondered what was its use when no industry was being set up in the state.
Besides, unemployed youths from AP were being driven away from other states citing the 75 per cent job reservation law, he added.
Attacking Jagan, the TDP leader said, "What we are witnessing for the last nine months is a Tughlaq's rule. We don't know what this Tughlaq does. Did anyone ask him for three capitals? He killed Amaravati."
The Chief Minister remained unmoved despite thousands of farmers and their families coming on to the streets and fighting to save Amaravati.
All the welfare and development schemes initiated by his government were abandoned by the present regime, the former Chief Minister lamented.
