Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday criticised Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for dropping or shifting sitting MLAs belonging to only backward classes. The former Chief Minister asked why only BC MLAs of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) are being dropped or shifted while those from Reddy community are being allowed to contest again. Naidu was reacting to Jagan dropping as many as 13 sitting MLAs in the two lists of candidates announced for coming Assembly elections. The ruling party has so far declared 35 candidates. Addressing a meeting of BCs got up at the party headquarters here on the occasion of launching of the ‘Jayaho BCs’ programme, Naidu claimed that after the YSRCP came to power, BCs across the state were subjected to torture and at least 300 persons belonging to the community, including 74 persons from the TDP, were killed. He stated that Nanda Subbaiah, who fought against the corrupt practices and atrocities of the Proddatur MLA, Sivaprasada Reddy, was brutally murdered and asked why this MLA was not dropped. Had this MLA belonged to a different community he too would have been shifted from there, the TDP supremo felt. He assured that after coming to power, his TDP will certainly enact a law for the safety and security of BCs. He said that 54 committees formed till now will study the financial conditions of various BC communities. “Work for 100 days for the party, for the state and for the BCs. The TDP will take the responsibility to promote all of you both politically and economically,” he told the party leaders. (IANS)
