He charges that Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy is denying the SC, ST, BC, and minority MPs the ability to act freely; according to Atchannaidu, the people of the State are eager to remove the Chief Minister and the YSRCP from office in the next elections.
At the BC Declaration program held in Guntur on March 5 (Tuesday), Minister for Labor and Employment and YSR Congress Party MLA from Alur in Kurnool district Gummanur Jayaram joined the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in the presence of its national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan.
Speaking to the sizable assembly of TDP and JSP leaders from over the State, Mr. Jayaram chastised Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for not granting minority lawmakers, the SC, ST, and BC the “freedom to act independently” over the previous five years.
In his address, TDP State president K. Atchannaidu alleged that the YSRCP government ruthlessly suppressed the BCs. Alleging that he had been falsely arrested on charges of corruption, Mr. Atchannaidu challenged the government to prove the charges.
He claimed that people in the State were keen to remove the Chief Minister and the YSRCP from office in the next election, citing Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s reputation for stoking divisions between castes and regions for political advantage.
