Minister questions delay in YSRCP resignations

Chittoor: No political party except TDP is relentlessly striving  for  achieving  Special Category Status to the state right  from the beginning by quitting the Union Cabinet and leaving the NDA alliance, said industries minister N Amarantha Reddy. He said YSRCP MPs submitted resignations from Lok Sabha with dubious intentions and questioned the delay in accepting them by the “BJP government”. 

Participating at 4th Nava Nirmana Deeksha meeting  held at Palamaner on Monday , the minister lambasted the YSRCP’s double standard and political gimmicks. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi accepted TDP Central ministers’ resignations in no time, then what made the BJP government dilly-dallying on the resignations of YSRCP MPs? This is a clear proof of YSRCP’s nexus with BJP,” he said. 

Stating that Chief Minister N Chandrababu  Naidu would never go back from the fight for Special Category Status, Amaranatha Reddy said he would continue his Dharma Pooratam against the BJP government. The minister said there has been great response from the people in taking part in the ongoing  Nava Nirmana Deeksha  programmes which will continue till June 8.  

Speaking on the achievements of the TDP government, he said the stage had been set  for  diverting the Handri-Neeva waters to the western parts of the district covering Thamballapalli, Palamaner, and Kuppam Assembly constituencies.  He said that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu would take part in Nava Nirmana Deeskha meets to be held in Punganur and Madanapalli constituencies  on June 7 and launch a number schemes on the occasion. 

The minister further  said that instructions  were given to the district collector  to issue ration cards to the eligible beneficiaries besides pensions in no time. He also took part in several programmes held in Gangavaram, Peddpanjani and other mandals. Several  TDP leaders of Palamaner and Punganur accompanied the minister .
