Rajamahendravaram: CPI flays politics of vendetta by YSRCP govt

Rajamahendravaram: CPI national secretary K Narayana said contrary to BJP leaders' denials, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy obtained the nod of the Union home minster Rajnath Singh for establishments of three capitals to the state.

Speaking to reporters at party office here on Wednesday, Narayana said Jagan could not have taken such an important decision on his own and the statement of Union minister of state for home affairs Nityananda Rai in Parliament on February 4 that capital was in the purview of state government proved this.

Observing that Jagan was destroying the state only to take revenge against former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, he advised him to take action against Naidu if any irregularities were found on his part but do not harm the state's interests.

"I thought the young leader will develop the state but he is posing problems to the people with his anti-people policies and his attitude is dangerous to the state. The paddy fields in Amaravati are not useful for cultivation now," he said.

Moreover, the Chief Minister was playing dual role on CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC) by acquiescing to it in New Delhi and speaking against it in the state. "Can he pass a resolution in assembly against them like other states?" he said while reminding that nine states and people of all sections were opposing the CAA and NRC.

Narayana said in the budget, the Union government reduced taxes for corporates but increased taxes on common man. Further, it was also allowing foreign money in universities thus diluting public sector undertakings and selling them to corporates, he alleged. Party leaders N Rama Rao and T Madhu were present.
