Nellore: Deputy CM Rajanna Dora alleged thatChandrababu, who served 14 years as the chief minister for three terms had given a mere 40,000 acres benefitting just 17,000 tribals in the state, whereas, CM Jagan has given more than 3 lakh acres benefitting approximately 2 lakh tribals in the last 4.5 years.

He along with Social Welfare Minister Merugu Nagarjuna, MLAs Anil Kumar Yadav, Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy and Actor Ali participated in the Samajika Sadhikara bus yatra held at Kovvur assembly constituency on Tuesday.

Rajanna Dora said, “TDP has given around 20 promises to tribals during the 2014 elections. How many promises it fulfilled? Did the TDP government acquire even one acre of land and distribute it to the poor tribals in the state? Did TDP establish an ST commission for the welfare of poor tribals?” Rajanna Dora questioned.

Merugu Magarjuna said “Chandrababu and his cronies enrolled their children in international schools and provided the best education to them but when the state government introduced English medium to empower poor and underprivileged children, studying in government schools, Naidu and his troop opposed the move and approached courts to prevent CM Jagan from doing good to the children,” the minister remarked.
