TDP Yatra meaningless: Ambati Rambabu

Hyderabad, Dec 1: Terming the Jana Chaitanya Yatra of TDP government as a deceptive exercise, YSR Congress has said that the awakening should come within the party as Chandrababu Naidu has failed to fulfill his poll promises and there is neither reason nor a base for the Yatra. "It is 18 months since Chandrababu Naidu took over as Chief Minister and not a single poll promise was fulfilled and the Jana Chaitanya Yatra has absolutely no meaning as the government has nothing to tell about other than its anti-people policies," party PAC member and spokesperson Ambati Rambabu told reporters here on Tuesday. "What is the message that the government will be giving to the people during the Yatra as its 18-month term is laden with unkept promises, failed assurances and decisions that were driven by nepotism. Be it the liquor policy or the mining policy it has been brought out with a motive and farmers, DWACRA groups, students, unemployed youth and other sections who believed the TDP president during electioneering, are a disappointed lot now," he said. On the proposed Kapu reservations, he said, "There is no sincerity on part of the Government as it has announced only as a preemptive measure after a powerful Kapu leader has announced an action plan. On earlier occasion as well, Chandrababu Naidu had played the same game with Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) and to increase the limit of reservations, a constitutional amendment is needed." "All the talk about is just an eyewash. If the TDP government is serious, it should announce Rs 2,000 crore fund for the welfare of Kapus which will bring credence to the government’s sincerity,’ he said.
