Jagan’s Allegations Reflect Political Desperation - Purandeswari

BJP MP Daggubati Purandeswari has criticised YSRCP president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy over his allegations that nomination papers of party candidates were snatched during the local body elections. She described the allegations as a reflection of his political desperation and said voters had made it clear that they would support development rather than intimidation and disorder. Purandeswari was speaking at a felicitation programme organised for BJP representatives who won the recent local body elections in East Godavari district. She said the results showed that people had supported welfare, development and good governance. Describing the BJP's performance across Andhra Pradesh as significant, she said the results reflected the party's growing grassroots strength.

Purandeswari expressed confidence that the BJP would strengthen its presence in Andhra Pradesh and gain greater public support in the coming days. She said the Centre was extending considerable assistance to the state's development and allocating substantial funds. She appealed to voters to support the BJP in the upcoming panchayat elections as well. Referring to coordination within the ruling alliance, she acknowledged that there were some gaps at the grassroots level but described them as natural. She said alliance candidates had lost in certain constituencies despite having public support because of coordination issues. Purandeswari added that the alliance partners would work together more closely and improve coordination ahead of the panchayat elections to avoid a repeat of such setbacks.
