"In an unprecedented manner, YCP government targeted TDP cres to crush ir businesses physically and financially. It has been a painful year where hundreds of TDP activists have been implicated in false cases and have been put in jail for fault of irs," said Naidu.

TDP chief lamented that Jagan's retrogressive policies has led to exit of investments and industries from Andhra Presh and has eventually caused huge loss of job opportunities to workers, youth and or sections.

"By stopping thousands of crores worth works of Amaravati capital city, YCP has caused serious harm to farmers who sacrificed ir lands. chief minister is deriving sistic pleasure even as farmers are still holding protests against shifting of capital braving hot summer and coronavirus lockdown," Naidu alleged. 

Stressing need for using latest techlogy, invation and digital socialisation, Naidu called upon TDP cres and people of AP to fight back anti-development and retrogressive forces and work for bringing back past glory to state.
