Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on Saturday asked the party cadre to get ready for the likely by-elections which might come soon.
Addressing the party workers of Rayachoti, Railway Koduru and Rajampeta constituencies of Cuddapah district at Tirupati, the Chief Minister hoped that the Congress party would win all the seats during the by-elections which might happen if Speaker Nadendla Manohar announces his decision on disqualification petition on 17 rebel MLAs.
Kiran Kumar Reddy slammed YSR Congress party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for working against the party from where he began his political career. He alleged that Jagan has quit the party with the sole intention of becoming the Chief Minister which, he said, would never happen.
Earlier, the Chief Minister also addressed a public meeting at Mittakhandrika near Srikalahasti. He listed out the several welfare schemes being implemented by his government. He claimed that as promised, the State Government has issued notifications for the 1.16 lakh jobs. He hoped that nearly 15 lakh jobs would be created in the private sector in the next three years. He said about one lakh jobs would be created in the Chitoor district alone in the next two years.
The Chief Minister also made a surprise visit to Tirupati Maternity Hospital. Later, he gave nod for the expansion of hospital from 140 beds to 300 beds besides having a separate OP Block and anesthesia unit. He also assured that the strength of doctors would also be increased in the hospital. (INN)
