Jagan means trust, Babu means betrayal: YSRCP
The publication highlights the failures of the NDA coalition government in its first year of rule. Speaking at the launch event, Venkatarami Reddy criticised the current alliance government, stating that it has betrayed the people just like Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu did during his earlier tenure.
'We released this book to expose the chaos and deception of the ruling alliance, one year after they assumed power,' he said.
During YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's tenure as Chief Minister, all manifesto promises were implemented without corruption or middlemen, benefiting citizens with ₹2.81 lakh crore in welfare schemes. The coalition, led by Chandrababu Naidu, has failed to implement even one of the 'Super Six' promises made during the elections.
These schemes alone would require ₹81,000 crore annually, but nothing has been delivered. In reality, the 'Thalliki Vandhanam' scheme has only reached 37.7 lakh beneficiaries, not the claimed 67 lakh.
The Amma Vodi scheme now gives only ₹13,000 instead of the promised ₹15,000, while Jagan's government had allotted ₹2,000 for school development from the same fund. Key promises such as ₹1,500 per month under the 'Aadabidda Nidhi,' pensions for SC/ST/BC women at 50 years of age, and free RTC bus travel for women remain unfulfilled. Illegal liquor, sand, and soil trade is rampant, especially in all 14 constituencies of Anantapur district. Liquor is being sold at inflated prices, even above MRP, with reported incidents of misbehavior inside bars and shops in Anantapur city, he said.
Small vendors are now charged double the earlier fee for setting up pushcarts — ₹20 instead of ₹10, and in some areas even ₹40 instead of ₹20 — with no significant increase in municipal revenue.
Venkatarami Reddy stated, 'YSRCP stood with the people even while in opposition.
It is only due to our pressure that the government implemented schemes like Thalliki Vandhanam, though partially. We will continue to expose the betrayal of the coalition.' He concluded by declaring that the YSRCP would actively confront the government's failures and continue to serve as the voice of the people, ensuring that the public is informed about every instance of deception.

The post of Vice President fell vacant on July 21 after Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned unexpectedly, citing health reasons New Delhi The Election Commission on Thursday issued a notification for the election to the office of the Vice President, scheduled for September 9, officially kick-starting the nomination process. Key dates: Last date for filing nominations: August 21 Scrutiny of nomination papers: August 22 Last date for withdrawal of candidature: August 25 The post of Vice President fell vacant on July 21 after Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned unexpectedly, citing health reasons. His tenure was otherwise set to continue until August 2027. According to constitutional provisions, in the case of a midterm election, the newly elected Vice President gets a full five-year term. How is the Vice President elected? As per Article 66 of the Constitution, the Vice President is elected by an electoral college comprising members of both Houses of Parliament, including nominated members. Unlike the Presidential election, members of state legislative assemblies are not part of the voting process. The election is conducted using the system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote (STV), with voting held through a secret ballot. Under STV, MPs mark their preferences, and counting proceeds in rounds until a candidate secures the required quota. To contest, a candidate must be: A citizen of India At least 35 years old Eligible for election to the Rajya Sabha They must also not hold any office of profit under the Centre, state governments, or government-controlled bodies. Electoral arithmetic: NDA holds clear advantage The current effective strength of both Houses stands at 786, with one vacancy in the 543-member Lok Sabha (Basirhat, West Bengal) and five in the 245-member Rajya Sabha, four from Jammu and Kashmir and one from Punjab, vacated after AAP leader Sanjeev Arora was elected to the state assembly in a bypoll. To win, a candidate needs at least 394 votes, assuming full turnout. The NDA, led by the BJP, enjoys a clear edge with 293 members in the Lok Sabha and 129 in the Rajya Sabha, including support from nominated members. With a total backing of 422 MPs, the ruling alliance is comfortably placed to secure the vice presidential post. Dhankhar steps down mid-term Jagdeep Dhankhar, who took office in August 2022, resigned on July 21, the first day of the Monsoon Session, citing health reasons. He became the third Vice President to step down before completing the five-year term.

With his departure, the EC has now set in motion the electoral process to fill the vacancy.

VRMCHS turned centre for power politics: Parvathareddy
Nellore: YSRCP Nellore district working president and MLC Parvathareddy Chandrasekhar Reddy has alleged that MA&UD Minister P Narayana had vested interests in converting the name of the old educational institution – Venkatagiri Raja High School – as VR Municipal Corporation High School (VRMCHS). Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, the MLC pointed out that the conversion of name of the school was against the norms with the official machinery turning at the behest of the Minister. He recalled that court has appointed Joint Collector as Special Officer by confining his power to look after the salaries of employees and protection of institution. But the JC had transferred the Rs 1,000 crore worth properties of VR High School to Nellore Municipal Corporation against court guidelines, he criticised, adding that such move will lead to misuse of VRHS properties in the mask of power by the ruling party leaders. The MLC has pointed out that instead of providing seats to the real poor children in the VRMCHS, 90 per cent of the seats against the total 1,063 seats, were given to the people recommended by 264 TDP leaders and students pursuing studies in corporate schools like Sri Chaitnya (32), Ratnam (28) Narayana (28), and 418 students studying in various municipal schools in the city. He also pointed out that against the requirement of 80 teaching staff in VRMCHS, the government has deployed six teachers on deputation and five cluster in-charges and 26 Second Grade Teachers (SGTs). He alleged that instead of purchasing new buses for VRMCHS, buses were hired from Narayana Educational Institutions for Rs 1.2 lakh on monthly rental basis. The MLC questioned, why the coalition government has provided seats based on the recommendations of party leaders, if it is keen on promoting corporate education to the poor.
