YSRCP candidate from the Visakhapatnam South Assembly constituency Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar on Thursday slammed TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu saying that for him poll manifesto is like tissue paper.
"No one believes Chandrababu Naidu's manifesto. For him, manifestos are like tissue paper," Ganesh Kumar told ANI. Ganesh Kumar, who quit the TDP to join YSRCP, is an incumbent MLA from the constituency and he is pitted against Vamsikrishna Srinivasa Yadav of the JSP, a constituent of the NDA alliance in the state. Kumar took a swipe at JSP chief Pawan Kalyan saying that he was begging Chandrababu Naidu for 21 seats for JSS to contest. "Pawan Kalyan who contested 175 seats in the state, now begging Chandrababu for 21 seats". He said that YSRCP is campaigning by showcasing the achievement of the Jagan Mohan Reddy government where 99 per cent of the poll promises have been fulfilled. "We are doing a very enthusiastic campaign by highlighting Jagan Mohan Reddy's welfare schemes. 99% of YSRCP poll promises have been fulfilled by Jagan Reddy. For Opposition, development means only the construction of buildings and roads but for Jagan welfare of the people is an essential part of it," he said. He said that under Jagan Mohan Reddy's rule secularism values are protected and alleged that the TDP- JSP-BJP alliance in the state has done nothing for the Muslim community.
