TDP Should Be Categorical On Loan Waiver: YSRCP

Rubbishing the rumours that an invite had been sent to Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to the swearing-in ceremony of Chandrababu Naidu, YSR Congress demanded that the TDP give a categorical statement on the waiver of agriculture loans while signing the first file.

"TDP leaders are resorting to false propaganda that our Party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy had not been reachable, while the fact remains that he had congratulated N Chandrababu Naidu on receiving a call. This type of false propaganda should be stopped," Party MLA B Srikanth Reddy told reporters in Hyderabad on Saturday.

"We demand that the TDP be categorical on the agriculture loan waiver, and that it spell out when it would waive all types of agriculture loans and DWACRA loans as promised during the elections. The first signature should carry the details and modalities of the loan waiver. The people have given us a mandate, and we will play our role as a true opposition party and will question the TDP government on all its lapses," he said.

"At a time when the State is split and the economy is in a crisis, we cannot ratify the pompous celebrations of the swearing-in ceremony. There are reports that some of the poor people were evacuated from the venue for the swearing in. We do not endorse such acts. The TDP has blatantly used the power of money in the elections, and the remarks of the TDP leaders are baseless", he added. (INN)
