Nellore (Andhra Pradesh), YSRCP supremo and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday challenged N Chandrababu Naidu to walk out of the ND alliance as the BJP reportedly wants to cancel the four per cent reservation for Muslims in the state.
The Chief Minister issued this challenge in Nellore in the same district during a public meeting as part of his intensive election campaign tour across the state, calling on the TDP chief to fight for the rights of minorities.
Reddy said, "The four percent reservation given to minorities is not based on religion, but is in line with social justice practices. We are taking steps to eradicate poverty and improve the lives of the poor, but Chandrababu's politics is like that of a chameleon." "
According to the CM, the opposition leader wants to continue TDP's alliance with the saffron party, which reportedly wants to end reservation for Muslims but is "playing drama in front of minorities to garner votes".Apart from this, Reddy called for giving his voice to support and fight for the rights of Muslims for reservation and issues like National Register of Citizens (NRC), Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and any issues related to them.
"Their interests will be protected and supported by the YSRCP. Can Chandrababu dare to say the same thing to Modi and walk out of the NDA to fight for Muslims," he questioned.
Earlier in Hindupur in Sri Satyasai district, he alleged that Naidu was playing "dirty politics" on the Land Title Act.
“They are spreading fake propaganda in the election campaign and sending IVR calls to people saying 'Jagan will grab all your lands.'We give land to the poor, we do not snatch it from them.'
He said the TDP leader had no knowledge about the Act, which will "provide full rights over land to farmers", calling it a major reform to save people from running from pillar to post to get details of their property. .
Noting that the last land survey was conducted in the southern state a century ago, the CM said the YSRCP government was conducting another survey to fix the boundary stones and update the records with proper sub-divisions.
Supporting the new survey, Reddy said the government would "guarantee" that there would be no disputes over the land surveyed.
Further, he said that 6,000 out of 17,000 revenue villages have been surveyed so far, and promised to complete the remaining also, adding that each farm should have proper records of its land.Elections for the 175-member assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats of Andhra Pradesh are to be held on May 13 and the counting of votes will take place on June 4.
