Chandrababu Failed To Give Adequate Representation To The Muslim Community: YS Jagan

Mudigubba (Anantapur): The erstwhile government of late YS Rajasekhara Reddy gets the credit for providing 4 percent reservation to Muslims, YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said.

Addressing members of the minority community here on Monday, he said the late chief minister alone gave adequate representation to Muslims in the cabinet, in providing reservations and in education. "In contrast the present TDP government has failed to fulfill every electoral promise made to the minority community," he added. "The Rs 30,000 given by the state government for higher studies is peanuts when compared to the rising cost of education. How will students pursue their goals when government policies do not favour them?" YS Jagan asked the audience.

The YSRCP chief also pointed out the failure of the state government in providing health care to the people. "Aarogyasri programme proved to be a boon for the people. Also, the 108 ambulance service reached people in distress and helped in reaching hospitals on time. The scheme is now being neglected by the Chandrababu Naidu government," YS Jagan pointed out.

He reassured the Muslim community that the YSRCP will implement the Navaratnas announced in the Guntur meeting for overall development of every section of the society.
