YSR Congress party honorary president Y S Vijaya Lakshmi alias Vijayamma alleged that a malicious campaign had been launched by the Telugu Desam and Congress party against YSRCP as its popularity is growing.
Addressing a huge public meeting, organised on the occasion of joining of TDP and Congress leaders in the YSRCP at Pamarru, about 40 KM from here today, she alleged that Gobbel’s propaganda was launched against the YSRCP that it would merge in the Congress party.
Referring the book release on her husband and former Chief Minsiter Y S Rajasekhar Reddy’s padayatra, in which a host of Ministers and prominent Congress leaders attended in Delhi recently, she criticised that the family members of Y S Rajasekhar Reddy were not invited for the function and flayed that they remembered YSR after three years of his death. Stating that the state is reeling under several problems including severe power crisis, she lamented that the days of using lanterns had come again. Several industries had been closed rendering thousands of workers jobless.
‘Time has come to bring back the suvarna yugam (golden era) which will be possible with only the YSR Congress party, as it is a people’s party,’ she claimed.
Reiterating that the arrest of his son and YSRCP President and Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy was unjust, she said even after 100 days of his arrest, he is still languishing in jail and promise the crowed that she would convey their wishes and love to Y S Jagan, when she met him in jail next time.
Taking a dig at the Telugu Desam party, she blamed that the TDP failed as an opposition as it colluded with the ruling Congress party for political mileage and to isolate the YSRCP and added that the by-election results clearly proved that the people of the state are with YSRCP.
Earlier, Expelled TDP MLA Kodali Venkateswara Rao alias Nani of Gudivada, TDP Polit bureau member Uppuleti Kalpana, former ZP chairman K Nageswara Rao, industrialist L Vasudev Rao and a host of former ZPTC and MPTC members joined the YSR CP in the presence of YS Vijayalakshmi. UNI
