BJP election coordinator Perala Chandrasekhar released a pamphlet on the development that took place in Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) during the NDA regime in the Centre and insisted that the State should have a ‘double-engine government’ that would give further boost to A.P. in the next five years.
He said the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government did nothing for the State and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had robbed the Centre of the credit which was due for it for the slew of schemes implemented in A.P.. Moreover, funds given to the State under various schemes were diverted.
Mr. Chandrasekhar said that the Modi government did a lot for A.P.. Especially the Backward Classes (BC) benefited from a host of welfare schemes launched by the Centre, the poor gained access to affordable treatments and medicines for various diseases under the Ayushman Bharat Mission, 4,500 km-long highways were laid, a sum of ₹10,000 crore was spent on healthcare and many other things were implemented.
The BJP did not neglect A.P. though it has no MLAs in the State. If people voted for the candidates fielded by the BJP-TDP-JSP alliance in the coming elections, much more could be done for the State that was hit hard by bifurcation, he added.
