Union Home Minister Amit Shah, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), spoke in Dharmavaram, stating that the BJP, Telugu Desam Party (TDP), and Jana Sena Party (JSP) have joined forces to combat the corrupt practices of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. He highlighted their goal to win 100 seats in the first two phases of the Lok Sabha elections and reach 400 seats by the end of the third phase.
During a public meeting with TDP chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Shah urged voters to support the alliance’s candidates to strengthen Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s position in the government. He emphasized the alliance’s plans to eliminate crime, corruption, and land mafia in Andhra Pradesh, as well as to develop Amaravati as the state capital and protect Tirumala Balaji temple.
Shah also discussed the importance of completing the Polavaram project, referring to it as the lifeline of Andhra Pradesh. He assured that both the state government led by Nara Chandrababu Naidu and the central government under Narendra Modi would work together to finish the project within two years.
Chandrababu Naidu expressed gratitude for Shah’s commitment to Amaravati and Polavaram, emphasizing their dedication to completing these projects. He warned against voting for YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, stating that it could jeopardize the future of Andhra Pradesh’s capital city. Naidu also criticized Jagan’s proposed Land Titling Act, accusing him of attempting to strip people of their land rights.
Furthermore, Naidu demanded compensation for pensioners who passed away due to sunstroke and other health issues, holding the YSRCP Government responsible for their deaths. He also referred to Jagan as ‘Mareechudu’, a demon who could resort to desperate measures for votes. Naidu expressed concern about Jagan’s unpredictable actions and urged voters to consider the alliance’s vision for the state’s future.
