Vijayawada: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said YSRC leaders were just like their party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, pointing to the incident of YSRC leaders fighting on the roads of Vijayawada. Speaking at the TD’s one-day workshop on Tuesday, he called on party cadres to work effectively to implement welfare schemes, which, in turn, will be the way for our success.

Mr Naidu even alleged that opposition leaders were involved in Nandyal and Kakinada betting.

He asked party cadres not to discriminate in implementing the welfare schemes of the government so that the opposition will not have any chance for cornering the government.

Mr Naidu mentioned about implementing the Nandyal and Kakinada success formula in all places, and directed the cadre to search for reasons on why the public is dissatisfied. He clearly said not to take elections for granted, but to consider it as a challenge.

Mr Naidu mentioned about issuing housing pattas and offering Rs 25,000 to Rs 40,000 to poor families belonging to the Backward Class community under the Chandranna Pelli Kanuka scheme.

He said the growth rate of AP is 11.5 per cent. The CM also directed TD cadres to work rigorously for 60 days in public and actively participate in the Intintiki Telugu Desam Programme which is scheduled to be held from Sept. 11.

Ministers, MPs, MLAs, constituency incharges and district presidents attended the programme.
