We honour verdict; will play role of constructive Oppn.: YS Jagan

Affirming that the Party will honour the people’s verdict, YSR Congress has said that it will play the role of a constructive opposition and will continue to be with the people fighting for their cause.

“We honour the verdict given by the people and we will be in the opposition playing a constructive role and bounce back in the next term,” party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy told reporters in Hyderabad after the results and thanked all the people who reposed faith in the party and voted in its favour.

Attributing the reasons for the defeat, he said it was Modi wave along with the false promises of N Chandrababu Naidu that went against the Party.

“We were never in power and were not relegated to opposition. In fact we started off with one MP and one MLA increased the tally to 2 MPs and 20 MLAs and now we having 10 MPs and 70 MLAs.

Due to certain circumstances including the Modi factor and people believing the false promises of Chandrababu Naidu we received a setback but we will bounce back in five years and in the meantime continue to be with people taking up their cause,” he said in the brief address to the media and congratulated Narender Modi, Chandrababu Naidu and K Chandrasekhar Rao for getting the mandate at the Centre and in two states.

It was YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and YSRCP that was with the people fighting for their cause, be it on crop holiday, weavers’ issue or fees reimbursement and Chandrababu Naidu was never seen anywhere fighting with government on people’s issues.

“Still the Modi factor aided with people believing Chandrababu Naidu’s false and impracticable promises were the guiding lines of the verdict. We respect the people’s mandate and I believe in God and destiny and we will stage a comeback in the five years,” he said.
