TDP neglecting Rayalaseema: YSRCP MLA Srikanth Reddy

Hyderabad, Nov 10: Coming down heavily on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for his remarks at the Kurnool public meeting, YSR Congress has said that the TDP government has no intention of developing Rayalaseema and development has a different meaning for the Chief Minister. "The indicators of development are not to be seen anywhere in the state after TDP took over and for the Chief Minister development means the well-being of his family business and that of his coterie," party MLA G Srikanth Reddy told the media here. Brushing aside the remarks that some local leaders are stalling the development process in Rayalaseema, he said, "It was during the period of YSR that major irrigation projects like Galeru-Nagari, Hundri-Neva have taken shape and have come close to completion. "It was during YSR term that faction feuds have come to an end and the region has seen development but the TDP term has always been neglecting the region and blaming others for its non-performance. That was the reason for Chandrababu Naidu’s outbursts and he has to answer in detail the development programmes taken up by his government," he said.  He reiterated that YSR Congress demands special status and special package is no match or substitute to it.
