Local body polls trend-setter for 2014 elections: YSRCP

Hyderabad, June 9 : Describing the ensuing local bodies’ elections as a prelude to the 2014 general elections YSR Congress has said that the ruling Congress and TDP will be rejected outright by the people as they are vexed with the government policies and fed up with the indifference of the main opposition party.

“YSR Congress is gearing up for the polls and has chalked out its strategy to highlight the failures of Congress government and its unholy nexus with opposition TDP. We are sure that people will express their feelings and give us a big mandate,” party MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy told reporters here on Sunday.

The two parties tried hard to conduct the MPTC and ZPTC elections on non-party basis but had to budge due to the apex court ruling and are now panicky as their popularity ratings are on the slide while YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is getting much of the public support, he said.

“These elections will be a trend setter to the next general election and will show which Party stands where. We have chalked out strategy to go to the polls with all earnestness to expose the anti-people policies of the Congress government and the secret support it has been receiving from TDP,” he said.

We are taking the elections seriously and will fight them with all seriousness in all the three regions. Our Honorary President YS Vijayamma will hold at meeting of all coordinators, district committee and panchayat committee members of the four districts of Rayalaseema and Nellore on June 14.

On June 16 she will hold a similar meeting of coastal Andhra leaders at Vizianagaram and will address meetings in each of the districts in Telangana, he said.

We will fight the elections seriously and will leave no stone unturned to secure victory as Congress and TDP stand exposed of their flaws on one hand and the cadre and leaders are leaving both the parties, he said.

The undemocratic arrest of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and the unwarranted diatribe on YSR family members have been closely watched by the people and the opportunity will be coming to them to express their verdict which will be a big blow to Congress and TDP, he said.

Meanwhile, YSRCP has criticized the legislative affairs minister D Sridhar Babu for turning his official quarter for business use. INN
