None of five files Babu signed were implemented: YSRCP

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has used his experience to subvert the aspirations of people who were eagerly waiting for his election promises to take shape and has changed his stance on the loan waiver by setting up committee after committee to find ways to wriggle out of the situation during his 100 days in office, YSR Congress has said and asserted that it will take up the people’s cause to question the Government on every count.

“Of the five files he has signed after assuming office, not a single scheme was implemented. The loan waiver scheme passed through committee after committee and stricture after stricture and in the final tally of budgetary allocation fell flat as it was drastically cut in size,” party official spokesperson Parthasarathy told reporters here on Tuesday.

The committees have slashed the actual figure of Rs 87,000 crores to Rs 45,000 crores and when it came to budget allocation; it was flattened to a meager Rs 5,000 crores which clearly shows the intention of the government. The Sujana Chowdhary Committee treating the loan waiver on corporate terms is highly impracticable as agriculture can never be an enterprise and there is no guarantee whether or not the proposed bonds will be accepted by banks.

With the confusion and utter chaos about loan waiver looming large, agricultural operations did not begin yet, despite reservoirs being full up to the brim and transplantation took place only in 30 % of the cultivable land. There is no clarity as to who is eligible for loan waiver and the strictures imposed has further complicated the situation, he said.

“The experience of Chandrababu Naidu did not come to the rescue of the farmers but has only aggravated their plight and when the Leader of Opposition, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was to rip open the details of how the welfare schemes are being diluted, he was denied mike. The budgetary allocation for welfare schemes is just 0.5 % of the actual requirement,” he said.

Of the four other files he signed immediately after assuming office, only age relaxation from 58 to 60 has seen light of the day but it has many riders and is not applicable to PSUs which fails in serving the intended purpose.

Covering up all the shortcomings, TDP leaders are resorting to tall talk which is mostly urban centric with the Chief Minister leading the pack with the concept of smart cities and smart airports that cater to the needs of the urbane and industrialists. Instead, he should use his experience to create smart villages and boost their economy to higher levels allowing them to allow air travel, he said adding that YSRCP will be with the people and will fight for their cause.
