Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy urges the voters to rally behind his dharma agenda for upholding righteous governance

Tirupati: Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has termed the forthcoming general elections as a pivotal clash between “righteous governance and the insidious forces of deception,” rather than a personal contest against Nara Chandrababu Naidu. Addressing the 'Memantha Siddham' public meeting in Puthalapattu on Wednesday, Jagan Mohan Reddy portrayed himself as the lone crusader against corrupt forces and political opponents hell bent on derailing his pro-people policies.

He urged the voters to rally behind his "dharma" agenda for upholding “righteous governance.” The Chief Minister exhorted voters to recognise the stark contrast between his government's people-centric policies and the “coterie of vested interests” arrayed against him. "For the upcoming elections, people have two clear alternatives: one of credibility, the other of deceit; one of truth, the other of



lies; one of development for every household, the other of sheer jealousy; one of light, the other of darkness; one of righteousness, the other of unrighteousness," he said.

"On one side is our government that has worked selflessly for the betterment of every home and the future of children. On the other side, we see the group that was in power thrice before and gave ‘a return gift’ of lies, deceit, evil and darkness. It is a battle between Chandrababu, who is habituated to deceiving people, and me, who is on the side of the masses," Jagan Mohan Reddy said. The YSRC chief asked the electorate to name a single major achievement from Naidu's combined 14-year stint as chief minister. Jagan Mohan Reddy reeled off his government's slew of welfare initiatives like Amma Vodi, Jagananna Vidya Deevena, Vahana Mitra and the like.
