TDP used Mahanadu to target YSRCP leaders, alleges MLC Botcha Satyanarayana
'The TDP leaders used the event as a platform to launch a diatribe against YSRCP leaders and divert attention from the failures of the NDA government,' Mr. Satyanarayana told the media at his camp office on Saturday.
'The TDP Mahanadu was drama. Political parties use such platforms, especially while in power, to highlight their achievements in welfare and development. However, the TDP's focus remained on criticising the YSRCP,' he said and asked why the TDP leaders failed to announce specific dates for the welfare schemes promised by them.
Mr. Satyanarayana criticised that NDA government for renaming the YSR district as YSR Kadapa. 'During the YSRCP's tenure, NTR district was named after the former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, N.T. Rama Rao. Will the NDA government change its name to NTR Vijayawada district?' he asked.
Evaluation of SSC papers
The former Education Minister alleged irregularities in the evaluation of Class X (SSC) exam answer scripts. 'A majority of the 16,000 students who applied for re-evaluation were found to be victims of grossly mishandled paper correction. Some students who initially received 20 marks were found to have scored 90 marks after revaluation. This reflects the utter negligence and careless approach with which the answer scripts were evaluated,' he said.
He demanded that the Education Department announce how many papers each evaluator was asked to assess daily.
'Vennupotu Dinam'
The YSRCP MLC said that the party would organise 'Vennupotu Dinam' on June 4 to 'highlight the TDP's failures in implementing its election promises'.
