Chandrababu Naidu betrayed people who believed in his promises: Jagan Reddy
The YSRCP marked the day by holding protests across Andhra Pradesh, denouncing the TDP-led state government that came to power this day last year. 'Exactly a year ago, on June 4, Chandrababu Naidu came to power with grand promises, but not a single one has been fulfilled … His false statements, broken assurances, and blatant backstabbing have pushed the state into disillusionment,' Reddy said in a post on X. Amaravati, Jun 4 (PTI) YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy observed 'betrayal day' on Wednesday, saying N Chandrababu Naidu came to power exactly a year ago with 'grand promises,' but not a single one of them was fulfilled. Hundreds of party workers and leaders took part in these marches across the state, including major urban centres like Tirupati, Vijayawada, Anantapur and several others. The NDA alliance, comprising TDP, BJP, and Janasena, secured a landslide victory in 2024, winning 164 assembly seats out of 175 and relegating the YSRCP to just 11 seats. 'The distinction of cheating and backstabbing all sections of people in this state goes to Chandrababu Naidu and the alliance leaders,' a YSRCP leader told reporters. A placard at a protest read: 'Babu (Naidu) betrayed and today is betrayal day.' The party also highlighted the 'unfulfilled Super Six' promises made by Naidu during the 2024 poll campaign. Another placard in the temple town accused him of 'cheating' women by not coming good on his promise that he would give Rs 1,500 per month to every woman aged between 19 and 59. The Super Six promises included 20 lakh jobs or Rs 3,000 monthly unemployment allowance, and free bus travel for women. 'That's why today we called for Betrayal Day! and people from all walks of life have come out in huge numbers, expressing their anguish and anger,' said Reddy. The former Andhra Pradesh chief minister said the outpouring was a message that the people will not remain silent in the face of 'lies and deception.' 'The massive turnout for this state-wide programme reflects the pain, frustration, and resistance of the betrayed public. I sincerely thank every YSRCP leader, worker, and citizen who stood up today, shoulder to shoulder, to voice this truth alongside the needy people,' Reddy said. Earlier, TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh asserted that exactly a year ago, democracy won and people won over a 'destructive' rule, referring to the previous YSRCP regime. 'The people's aspirations won a resounding victory over the anarchic and factional rule. This victory is the victory of five crore people. The people's verdict has further increased the responsibility of our alliance,' Lokesh, the IT Minister in the current government, said in a post on X. With Naidu's experience in governance and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's blessings, the reconstruction of Andhra Pradesh has begun, he said. 'I thank the five crore people who blessed the NDA government. I request you to stand by us with the same spirit to keep Andhra Pradesh at the top of development. Best wishes to everyone on the occasion of the people's verdict day,' Lokesh added. PTI STH VN VN This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Address mismatch stalls farmer ID drive in Telangana
Hyderabad: A new initiative to assign unique identification numbers to farmers for accessing central govt schemes has hit a major roadblock in Telangana, leaving thousands unable to register due to a mismatch between their Aadhaar and land passbook addresses. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to senior officials, the issue arises when a farmer owns agricultural land in one place — often a remote village — but resides in a town, city, or in Hyderabad. Their Aadhaar card lists the urban address, while the land passbook reflects the village location. This discrepancy is causing the agriculture department's software to reject applications, preventing successful linkage of land records to the new farmer IDs. Even when farmers manage to receive the OTP (one-time password) required for verification, upload errors are commonly reported. The system currently mandates that addresses on both documents match exactly, a condition many farmers are unable to meet. Frustrated applicants are now calling for relaxation of the rules, fearing that continued technical hurdles could exclude them from key central schemes such as PM Kisan, crop insurance, and a 60% subsidy for fruit, vegetable, and silk farming. While 19 states have already completed the registration process and submitted data to the Centre, Telangana lags far behind. As per official figures, only about 30% of eligible farmers have successfully registered. Agriculture officers are now working to complete registrations by June 6, after which MeeSeva centres will also facilitate the process. The goal of the unique farmer ID system is to streamline benefit delivery, reduce fraud, and ensure faster compensation— especially in cases of natural calamities or crop failure. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Officials say the ID will help verify eligibility without requiring farmers to visit government offices during emergencies. In Telangana, there are more than 70 lakh landholding farmers, of whom around 40 lakh currently receive Rs 2,000 in three annual instalments under PM Kisan. The state agriculture department has clarified that the unique ID will not affect state-run welfare programmes like Rythu Bharosa or loan waivers, which will continue to rely on data maintained by the revenue department. Still, officials are urging all farmers to proactively register with local agriculture offices to avoid missing out on central benefits.
