Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy on Tuesday criticised the Grand Alliance for its lack of ‘vision’ and ‘principles’. Despite forging an alliance, the four parties hold different and contradictory views on the question of separate Telangana, he pointed out. Dr. Reddy was addressing a series of well-attended public meetings and road shows at various places in Adilabad district as he launched his election campaign here.
He said by putting aside its agenda of carving a separate Telangana and joining hands with its foe, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) had effectively shunned principles. There was hardly any chance of achieving Telangana with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) rooting for a united Andhra Pradesh, he added. Calling Praja Rajyam (PR) party president K. Chiranjeevi a novice in politics, the Chief Minister said it was not apt on part of the actor-turned-politician to talk about the ‘Jalayagnam’ programme of the Congress government.
“Solving people’s problems is not like a two-hour-long film or as easy as performing four duets,” he remarked. Dr. Reddy asked people to vote for Congress candidates Kotnak Ramesh for Adilabad (ST) Lok Sabha seat, C. Ramchander Reddy for Adilabad Assembly constituency and Ajmera Hari Naik, Anil Jadhav and A. Indrakaran Reddy at Khanapur (ST), Boath (ST) and Nirmal constituencies. His appeal came after he listed the several welfare programmes of his government during its last term. With regard to the long pending demand for the inter-State Lower Penganga project, he said the State government had taken the initiative on its own and got various clearances for the project.
