YSRCP leaders launch ‘Vennupotu Dinam' poster
Visakhapatnam: As Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu deceived people of Andhra Pradesh, people will observe the 'Vennupotu Dinam' on June 4, YSRCP Visakhapatnam district president K.K. Raju mentioned.
Speaking at the party office here on Sunday, he said that the people have been dissatisfied with the Telugu Desam Party's year-long rule. The NDA government failed to fulfill the promises made during the election campaign and hence indulged in diversion politics, he alleged.
Further, KK Raju pointed out that the NDA government made several promises and is now unable to keep them up even after a year of its governance. The government came to power by assuring implementation of 'Super Six' but deceived the people without enforcing it. Raju criticised that injustice is meted out to all communities in the NDA government. Speaking on the occasion, MLC Botcha Satyanarayana instructed the party cadre to fight for the rights of the people and exhorted them to carry out the Vennupotu Dinam successfully. He demanded the government to implement Super Six as people elected the alliance expecting its enforcement. The MLC pointed out that the NDA government is resorting to diversion politics rather than focusing on the development of the state. After a district-level review meeting, a poster of 'Vennupotu Dinam' was launched in the presence of Rajya Sabha member Golla Babu Rao, YSRCP state women's wing president Varudhu Kalyani, former MLAs Malla Vijaya Prasad, T Vijay Kumar and Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar, corporators and leaders.

Totapuri mango price drop worries farmers
Tirupati: Mango farmers in Chittoor and Tirupati districts are in distress as the onset of early monsoon, coupled with the middlemen syndicate's greed, has crashed the prices of Totapuri variety to an all-time low of 4,000 a ton, down from last year's high of 18,000 to 30,000 a ton. The erstwhile combined Chittoor district is referred to as the mango capital of the country as the fruit is extensively grown in an extent of approximately 2.87 lakh acres here. Totapuri is one of the widely grown mango varieties in Chittoor and Tirupati districts and account for nearly 90% of the overall mango farming in the region. Table varieties like Benisha, Sindoora, Alphonsa, Khadar and other varieties are grown in the remaining 10% of farmlands. While table varieties are sold in open markets, Totapuri variety is exclusively supplied to 60 odd mango pulp units in the districts. With an average annual output of close to 7.5 lakh tonnes, Chittoor registers an impressive turnover of 1,000 plus crore in mango sales annually, with the pride mangoes from the district exported to several countries. But unfortunately, though the district received bountiful timely rains leading to a desired mango yield this year, farmers who grew the Totapuri variety are in distress as the middlemen and pulp owners' syndicate haven't even opened the market even though the mango season for the year is drawing to a close. Giridhar Reddy, a trader at Damalacheruvu Mango Nagar market, said while representatives of pulp industries approach farmers for Totapuri variety as early as April every year, this year they have stayed away though June has set in and the mango season will end soon. The early onset of monsoon has further worsened their woes, forcing farmers to pluck the fruits early, leading to a scenario of oversupply in the mango markets. Mango farmers from the region said when YSRCP govt was in power, TDP leaders promised to end the syndicate's reign over mango markets and assured farmers of remunerative prices for their yield once the party returned to power in the state. "Unfortunately, while farmers who grew Totapuri last year earned anywhere between 18,000 and 30,000 per ton, this year the prices have crashed to 4,000 a ton, resulting in huge losses. The state govt has not even held meetings to fix a minimum support price for the mango yield," rued Kesavulu, a mango farmer from Puttur mandal.

Unemployed JAC criticises YSRCP's call to observe June 4 as backstabbing day
Vijayawada: Unemployed JAC state convenor Sk Siddik stated that the people of Andhra Pradesh had decisively defeated Jagan's rule in the 2024 general assembly elections, reducing the YSRCP to just 11 seats, yet they showed no shame. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing the media, Siddik said that instead of observing YSRCP's 'Backstabbing Day' on June 4, they would celebrate it as 'Heart Attack Day for Jagan.' Siddik accused the YSRCP of deceiving unemployed youth with false promises, including providing job calendars every year, filling 6,500 police jobs annually, and creating mega DSC jobs. However, failed to fulfill even a single promise. He also alleged that Prashant Kishore-led IPAC staged a drama by portraying women as investors but failed to provide even a single private job. Siddik questioned whether issuing notifications for 16,347 teacher jobs, filling 6,100 police constable posts, or chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and IT minister Lokesh's efforts to bring investments worth ₹9 lakh crore from Davos, creating employment for six lakh people, constituted 'backstabbing.' He challenged YSRCP leaders to an open debate on job creation.
