Compare Janmabhoomi panels with volunteers, Tammineni Sitaram urges people

Speaking on the occasion, the Speaker appealed to the people to compare the TDP rule with the YSRCP rule in the state. He said that JB committees used to harass people in providing benefits under government schemes during TDP regime but village volunteers were now bringing them to the doorsteps of people without causing any inconvenience. He alleged that unable to digest the defeat, TDP chief N.Chandrababu Naidu was still was creating hurdles in developmental works and implementation of welfare schemes to damage the reputation of the government among people but people were wise and comparing the difference between the two governments.
