Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) [India], April 29 (ANI): YSRCP leader Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy lauded the manifesto released by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and said that the CM has assured to provide the imminent necessities and sustainable development for the people.
Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said, “Jagan Mohan believes in trust. He has to keep the trust of the people. His major trump card is credibility. He was very responsible when he released the manifesto. He has assured to provide the imminent necessities and sustainable development for the people to make them stand on their legs.”
He further hit out at Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo and former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and said that he did not keep a single promise during his tenure between 2014 and 2019.
“Chandrababu Naidu has promised freebies but has no inclination to fulfill them. Between 2014 and 2019 he has not kept a single promise. We have controlled the liquor syndicates and trying to discourage consumption of alcohol. Our aim is to make the poor self-sustainable,” he added.
With weeks to go for the elections to Assembly and Lok Sabha in Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday released the YSR Congress Party’s (YSRCP) poll manifesto at the Tadepalli camp office in Vijayawada.

It will be developed as the growth engine for the state,” the Andhra CM said, adding that Amaravati will be developed as the legislative capital and Kurnool as the judicial capital.
While addressing the press conference, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister noted that welfare pensions, which are currently at Rs 3,000 per month, will be raised to Rs 3,250 from January 2028 and subsequently to Rs 3,500 from January 2029.
