Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy released the YSRCP’s Election Manifesto at the party’s central office in Tadepalli on Saturday. Addressing the party leaders, CM Jagan said that the way poll promises were implemented in the last 58 months will be remembered for years to come.

He said the state government ensured the delivery of welfare schemes to the people at their doorstep even during challenging times like the Covid pandemic.  Targeting the TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, CM Jagan said people believed the words of the opposition leader and elected his party to power in 2014.

However, he failed to fulfill the promises made in their manifesto. He also accused Chandrababu Naidu of deceiving the people regarding loan waivers, Dwakra loans, and zero-interest deductions. He alleged that Naidu had lied about developing the state beyond Singapore and building a hi-tech city in every district.
