YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is a visionary, Chandrababu Naidu a dream merchant, slams Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy

Amaravati: The contrast between Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy being practical and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu being a peddler of dreams was stark, said Government Advisor (Public Affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.

Addressing media here on Friday, he said the Chief Minister had proven to be a true visionary by fulfilling over 95 per cent of the poll promises unlike Naidu who sells dreams. He said the TDP president had been a dream merchant and deceived the people with his graphics and illusions by presenting fake vision in his five-year rule.

Ramakrishna Reddy said year 2020 had shown a true leader with strong passionate vision, standing by the people of all sections even fighting against the odd times. Any real visionary will showcase his spirit in every aspect he does, but Naidu has only framed himself as a visionary leader by giving high hopes to the public at a very long term and hurling mud on the other leaders.

"People have clearly witnessed the difference between both the governments and are fully aware of the real visionary leader. People have given Naidu a chance in 2014 who misused his power to loot as much as possible and abandoned public welfare. In the last 18 months, the Chief Minister has given transparent governance through village and ward secretariat's, by implementing various welfare schemes," he said.

He alleged that while the state government has been fulfilling the dreams of the poor by distributing house sites, the "demons" (TDP leaders) were still trying to destroy the yagna by filing PILs in the courts.

He questioned as to why had not Chandrababu done something like providing houses to the poor during his tenure. People are watching everything and they know that their lives will improve under the rule of Jagan Mohan Reddy, who has been leading the state with both welfare and development, he added.
