The Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee has vowed to nail the Chandrababu Naidu Government in the State for its failure to implement even a single poll promise made before the assembly elections.

Releasing a 10-page fact sheet in Hyderabad on Monday on the 100 days in office by Mr. Naidu, APCC president N. Raghuveera Reddy said the Congress party would not keep quiet, if the TDP Government continued to dill dally on the poll promises, particularly the farm and DWCRA loan waiver.

Accusing the Chief Minister of taking the people of Andhra Pradesh for a ride, Mr. Reddy said when Mr. Naidu assumed office as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in Guntur on June 8 this year, he had made grandiose announcement to implement five of the key poll promises.

Referring to all the key promises, Mr. Reddy said the Chief Minister had fooled voters by promise of farm loan waiver. “He promised to sign the first file on loan waiver. Three months down the line, no concrete steps have been taken,” he said warning that the Congress party would stand by the people, as they continued to suffer under the new regime.

Similarly, the SHG members and weavers were in distress as the banks refused to give fresh loans till the old ones were repaid. He charged that the promise of one job for every family was an utter misconception as the model ryots, field assistants, fair price shop dealers, mid day meal scheme cooks and outsourcing of employees in various departments were terminated.

The Congress chief said TDP was indulging in unethical politics by encouraging defections and went to the extent of issuing diktat that officialdom should listen only to the TDP leaders. He ridiculed the White Papers released by the Chief Minister in recent times saying that they were all factually incorrect and motivated.

The Congress leaders said all political parties in Andhra Pradesh should take equal responsibility for bifurcation of the State.

Senior AP Congress leaders and former Union Minister K. Chiranjeevi, Rajya Sabha member K.V.P.Ramachandra Rao, former Ministers – Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, Md Syed Ahmedullah and C. Ramachandraiah and APCC chief spokesperson R.Padmaraju were present.
