‘Mee Atthagariki Meeru Ivvaledu… Memu Iccham: CM Jagan

Everyday Andhra Pradesh assembly is having heated debates on several subjects and today, the opposition TDP questioned the YSRCP government on the nominated posts. TDP alleged that YSRCP is giving away nominated posts to their party supporters and sympathisers and are misusing their power.

CM YS Jagan directly intervened in this debate and added that no other state government in the country is giving nominated posts to backward classes, Dalits and minorities. “We are giving fifty percent of posts to the SCs, STs and minorities. Even making sure that women are getting placed in it,” said Jagan and then read out few names who were appointed by his government.

In the names, Lakshmi Parvathi’s name popped up. “Chairman of Telugu Academy is Lakshmi Parvathi. She is none other than opposition leader’s mother-in-law. They did not give any sort of opportunity to her but our government gave her a respectable position,” stated Jagan.

As and when Jagan took out Lakshmi Parvathi’s name, all the eyes in the Assembly stared at Chandrababu. However the TDP chief maintained his composure and did not comment.

Further the CM said we made sure all the communities got equal importance and there is a balance. TDP’s allegations are just baseless.
