Nadda calls upon people to drive YSR Congress out of power in AP
Deccan ChronicleVijayawada: BJP national president JP Nadda has called upon the people of Andhra Pradesh to drive out the ruling YSR Congress government by voting for the lotus symbol and electing the BJP to power in the state in the next assembly polls. Addressing a large gathering styled as ‘Godavari Garjana’ in Rajamahendravaram on Tuesday, the BJP chief slammed the Jaganmohan Reddy government for its “lack of financial discipline,” resulting in a rise in the state’s debt to Rs 8 lakh crore. He said, “I am sorry to say that the YSR Congress government is diverting central funds allotted for implementation of welfare schemes, developmental works and for the gram panchayat projects. If you want development in the state, I appeal to you all to press the lotus button in the next assembly polls and elect the BJP to power.” He remained silent on Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan’s three proposals --to have an alliance with either the BJP or the BJP and TD together or Jana Sena to contest the polls alone in the 2024 assembly hustings.
