TDP MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao ridicules ‘Vennupotu Dinam', he says Jagan has not learnt a lesson yet
Ridiculing the YSR Congress Party's (YSRCP) idea of observing 'Vennupotu Dinam' to mark the formation of one year of the NDA government, Bheemunipatnam MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao stated that the YSRCP president, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, appears to have learned nothing from the party's recent electoral defeat. Addressing a press conference at his residence in the city on Wednesday (May 4, 2025), Mr Ganta Srinivasa Rao said that typically, when a political party loses an election, their leader assesses the reasons behind the loss, conducts meetings with the cadre, and prepares strategies to rebuild public trust. However, in the case of Mr. Reddy, it seems like he believes the people committed a mistake by not voting for him. The former CM is unable to accept the fact that people have rejected him, he added. Mr. Srinivasa Rao alleged that over the past week, the YSRCP leaders have been staging unnecessary drama in the name of 'Vennupotu Dinam'. He also questioned the YSRCP leaders, what exactly is the purpose behind 'Vennupotu Dinam'. 'Is it to restart the Amaravati capital works that the YSRCP halted in the name of three capitals? Is it to secure funds for the Polavaram project or to bring the Prime Minister to Andhra Pradesh to lay the foundation for development projects worth thousands of crores?', he questioned. He further asked, 'Is it to revive the long-pending Metro Rail project or establish the Railway Zone which the YSRCP neglected? Is it to arrange a ₹12,000 crore financial package for the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), to which the former CM did not make a single attempt to protect it from privatisation?' The Bheemunipatnam MLA also dared the YSRCP leaders to come for a constructive debate on the implementation of promises made in their manifesto, instead of organising events like 'Vennupotu Dinam,' which he opined as meaningless. The MLA also criticised former CM Mr. Reddy, stating that the previous government took five years to raise pensions by just ₹1,000. He also accused the YSRCP of failing to fulfil major promises, such as liquor prohibition, the release of a job calendar, and a few others. He also stated that in the last one year, under the NDA government, several important assurances have already been implemented, including the Mega DSC recruitment drive, the revival of Anna Canteens, abolition of Land Titling Act, distribution of free LPG cylinders through the Deepam scheme, increase in pensions. He also reiterated that Chief Minister has already announced that the government will launch the 'Thalli Ki Vandanam' scheme on June 12, before the reopening of schools and also offer free bus travel for women starting August 15.

YSRCP criticises NDA govt for ‘misuse of power'
Ongole: YSR Congress Party senior leader and Rajya Sabha member YV Subbareddy criticised the coalition government in the state, for filing indiscriminate cases against their party workers. Subbareddy participated as a chief guest to the meeting with the YSRCP workers from the Ongole assembly constituency, on Sunday night. Speaking at the meeting, Subbareddy expressed frustration over what he described as the systematic destruction of the state by the current government. He criticised the coalition government for filing indiscriminate cases against not only YSRCP workers but also ordinary citizens who voted for the party during their first year in power. YSRCP regional coordinator Karumuri Nageswara Rao addressed the gathering, criticising Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for continuing the Land Titling Act despite having spread false propaganda about it before the elections. He mocked Naidu's previous dismissive comments about elderly voters pressing buttons, noting that the same leader now appears afraid to press those buttons himself. YSRCP Ongole Parliament in-charge Dr Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy pledged to stand with party workers in their fight against what he termed the coalition's destructive governance. He committed to repaying the debt to the 8.55 lakh voters of Prakasam district who supported the party in the parliamentary elections and promised to work responsibly to ensure a bright future for party leaders and workers. The meeting was also addressed by party district president and Darsi MLA Buchi Reddy Siva Prasad, Yerragondapalem MLA Tatipati Chandrasekhar, former ministers Merugu Nagarjuna and Adimulpu Suresh, MLC Parvatareddy Chandrasekhar Reddy, former MLA Anna Rambabu, and Jupudi Prabhakar.
