YSR Congress president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is supremely confident of a landslide victory in the upcoming Assembly elections. To this effect, he has already formulated grand plans for the new Andhra Pradesh state and its capital as its first Chief Minister. Excerpts from an interview with A.T. Jayanti and Ch.V.M. Krishna Rao On the new capital for Seemandhra: It should be centrally situated in respect to the whole state. My concept of the Seemandhra capital is totally different from conventional views. I will build a new green capital city; and when I say green I do not mean only buildings that are environment friendly, but also a lot of greenery. There should be abundant land and water for that. âThe new capital city will have the best connectivity to all the districts apart from Hyderabad. If I have to ask someone staying in Hyderabad to come and settle in the new capital city, I need to showcase the infrastructure. I need to create euphoria about it. So my vision of the new capital is something new. Everything needs to be done with super speed yet with transparency. For that I am even thinking of setting up a panel of people from the High Court and CAG (Comptroller and Audit General) and have all the plans for development and expenditure cleared by it before the schemes are launched. The projects need to be cleared quickly as we are racing against time to create a new city in less than 10 years.â âIt is not an impossible task. We can create Indiaâs best green capital city with all modern infrastructure and have an environmental and investment friendly climate⦠But I donât want to reveal the location now. On hospitals: âWelfare and development would have to go hand in hand. Every district will have a super-speciality hospital. I want to create a medical hub in the capital city where we plan to have faculty hospitals for each branch of medicine. The faculty hospitals in cardiac care will have top 10 to 20 heart specialists. Similarly for cancer, neurology, etc. the faculty doctors would visit the 13 districtsâ multi-speciality hospitals one month a year by rote. This will ensure that excellent medical facilities will be available everywhere and you do not have to fly to any other city to be treated.â On education: âI want to ensure quality education right from day one of my governmentâs formation. Every government school will be English medium. I will bring the worldâs best schools to set up their branches in Seemandhra. I will see that all eligible children are not only admitted in schools, but will also ensure that they are sent to schools by their parents. For this I want to offer a special allowance of `500 per kid per month to each family. But it will be effective for only two kids. This means that just for sending their kids to school, parents will get `1,000 assistance from the government. âThere is a huge dropout rate of children once they reach Class VII because the minute they are able, they are needed to earn an extra income. So not only will we be paying the parents for sending their children to school we will also impart free and quality education right from KG to PG.â âWe are going to try and get the likes of Stanford to come in. You have a tie-up with a university of that calibre and everything will automatically get upgraded. Currently our engineers arenât able to find jobs because often the quality of education is poor and there has been no stress on learning English. Job interviews are conducted in English and they stumble at that frontier.â On infrastructure: âI will also build a 10-lane highway between Itchapuram and Tada. I have several plans to build special industrial and infrastructure zones to create more opportunities for providing jobs to the youth. The industrial corridor from Srikakulam to Tirupati will create huge job opportunities.â âI have already prepared plans on how to go about it. There are many countries in the world like Japan, whose cities have become saturated and are looking to invest money in places where they are assured of growth. We will tap into all such resources and develop Seemandhra. The excitement of building a new city is that the possibility to showcase it as the best is immense.â Plans for raising funds for Seemandhra: âIt is not a problem. My dad has shown the way already. Without levying a single paisa of tax during his five and a half year rule, he ensured that the state budget grew from `40,000 crore to `1,06,000 crore. When you have a vision, when you have commitment, nothing is impossible.â âIn the process of cutting me to size, injustice has been done to the people of Andhra. When the state was split, a generous development fund should have been earmarked and specified. By not doing so, they have let the region down.â On welfare schemes: âWelfare has to be a key ingredient. Unless you help your people achieve all that they aspire for there can be no real growth, and this cannot be time-bound. You have no idea about how little our people who live in the hinterlands have access to. With Godâs grace I have everything I need and from now on my job will be to ensure that the people have access to the best of education, health and development.â On supporting the new government at the Centre: âI will support anybody at the Centre except the Congress. The Seemandhra state will need all the support it can get from the Centre in terms of funds, assistance and support. So there is no need for any confrontation with the Centre. I will support a government that is friendly towards Seeman-dhraâs development and its needs.â On Sharmila and Vijayalakshmi contesting: âI have told both my sister and mother to be ready to contest. Sharmee told me that she needed some more time before she plunged into electoral politics. She wants to wait till her son Raja Reddy enters college. He is now in the 9th standard. When she expressed her inability to contest, that too on valid grounds, I said okay. âThere are no differences among my family members, we are all one and united. Sharmee is always of great help to me and she is the one who counters all the criticism before I react to any of it. People who gossip about how I am trying to limit her growth have no idea how close we really are and how I love her more than my own daughters.â âShe has a great role awaiting her. Once elections are over she will be in charge of Telangana. I was unable to do my Odarpu Yatra there and Sharmee will take it up.â âThe Odarpu Yatra for me was a huge revelation and during the classes I hold for my MLAs and MPs, I tell them that if you take up a yatra like this there is no way you will not understand your people or lose elections. The Odarpu Yatra will ensure that Sharmila wins the hearts of the Telangana people.â âBut surely my mother Vijayalakshmi will contest in these elections; I am keeping it a secret where she will contest from. You will come to know when it happens.â On why YSR Congress is weak in Telangana: âThe Odarpu Yatra (to console the family members of those who had died of shock following YSRâs tragic death), and the tours I have undertaken, all account to more than 30,000 km. There was not only emotional bonding between the people and me, but I knew the pulse of the masses and they also knew what I was. This did not happen in Telangana region. I have planned my visits in Telangana too, but I was prevented on more than one occasion. When I was to enter the Telangana districts after finishing Guntur, I was arrested and imprisoned. Had there been my tours in that region, the story would have been different. âUndoubtedly my father was well loved by the people of all regions. Circumstances did not let me connect with the people, but now Sharmee will.â On Chandrababu Naidu using the development mantra as his USP: Unfortunately he lacks credibility. He did nothing during his nine-year stint as CM. In fact he did not know anything about Information Technology and he did nothing. The evelopment he is talking about is all hype. âChandrababu Naidu belongs to a different generation whereas I belong to another. What I have done at this age of 41, Chandrababu could not. In terms of thinking, perception and implementation, he is outdated. Chandrababu Naidu always talks about developmentâ¦that is all. The state did not develop as much as he is saying. You name any sector, there was a marked difference between Naiduâs rule and YSRâs rule. YSR improved every sector. Even in IT we were placed 3rd during Vijay Bhaskar Reddyâs tenure, but during Chandrababu Naiduâs term we slipped to number 5.â âPeople are talking of Naidu being the face of IT development, but what did he really do for the people at the grassroots? The basic thing people need at villages is their ID cards, be it for rations or other identity cards. I plan to set up an IT centre with scanners and retina recognition equipment in every village. It does not need a greatly skilled person to run this. People who need their cards will get it at their villages.â âTo monitor the health centres, schools and the IT kiosks, there will be a 10-member womenâs unit of educated women who will police everything. They will also police the belt shops.â Poll predictions for Seemandhra and Telangana âIt will be a total sweep in favour of YSR congress. Of course Chandrababu Naidu will be the runners-up, but he will be a distant second. He may end up with 30 to 35 Assembly seats only. âLike in Tamil Nadu, it is always a sweep in Seemandhra. People will give a massive mandate in favour of one party only. But the situation is always different in Telangana. Fractured mandate is common there. I expect TRS to get around 45 seats and be the single largest party there.â On surveys giving different projections: âIt all depends on how you put the question. If you ask a voter whether he would prefer Rahul Gandhi or Narendra Modi, he would certainly say Modi. But if you ask him about the party, the result would be different. I am 100 per cent confident that the YSR Congress party will get a landslide victory in the polls.â On forgiving Congress: âI have no bitterness against anyone. When I was in jail I used to pray every day seeking forgiveness if I had sinned and also for those who had sinned against me. Bitterness destroys you and I have too much to look forward to, to brood over someone or something. However distant, Naidu is my only rival, no one else.â On facing corruption charges: âThe whole country knows that this CBI drama started after I left the Congress. Both TD and Congress came together to malign my image and to defame late Dr YSRâs legacy and to keep my family away from my people. God and my people are with me and we shall prevail.â On leaders leaving the party and accusing him: âIt is a wrong perception. We had finalised most of our candidates many months ago and thus could not accommodate Congress leaders who first came to us and later joined the TD. Till today leaders are joining us from all parties unconditionally.â On fielding the super rich as candidates: âOur party is very careful about fielding candidates. Our main criteria are peopleâs preference and the credibility of the candidate. Unlike TD, money is not a criterion for us. This will become very clear once all the parties announce their list of candidates.â His promises: The power bills are really pinching the common man in the state. Nobody knows how much he has to pay for the power consumption and how much for the surcharges etc. Officials are simply disconnecting the power and staying away and the poor consumers are resorting to illegal tapping of power. At the end of the day the government is not only not getting its revenue, but is also unable to control the power pilferages. I intend to introduce a scheme where only `100 per month is collected from each domestic consumer who uses only two fans, two bulbs and television.â âI have visited some 17,000 homes of the really poor during the extensive yatras I conducted and this has been an eye-opener regarding the problems they face. There has been no other leader in the state with such rich interaction with the common man like I had. âDo you know I have spent 97 days in Guntur district and 55 days in Krishna district? My interactions and conversations with people are totally different from others. Even during my road shows, I would make it a point to stop my convoy even when a small group of women and commoners were present and talk to them affectionatelyâ. âMy time in jail was educative. I had a lot of time to learn about every aspect of the state and now I have only one desire, to be respected and loved. I want my picture to hang on the wall of every home.â 11-point agenda of YSR Congress "I have 11 promises that I swear to implement. I will sign the relevant GOs for the first five promises on my swearing-in day as Chief Minister." 1 Amma Vodi: `1,000 per month will be deposited in banks accounts of people for sending their kids to school. I will ensure that the kids become doctors and engineers. 2 Hike the pension amount for all aged from `200 to `700 3 `3,000 crore will be earmarked for market intervention to ensure remunerative prices to all farmers for their products. 4 All existing DWCRA loans to the extent of `20,000 crore will be waived. 5 All social security cards, including ration cards, will be issued to people within 24 hours that too in their villages by establishing computer-aided offices with all facilities. 6 Fifty lakh new houses will be constructed within the next five years for weaker sections of the society. 7 Every district will have a super-speciality hospital. In addition, the new capital city will have 20 super-speciality hospitals under a university, which will coordinate with other hospitals in the state. 8 Seven-hour free power to agriculture will make Seemandhra state a âno power cutâ state by 2019. 9 Ten women constables from different castes from each village will be appointed to check the liquor menace. All belt shops will be closed from day one. 10 Employment will be guaranteed for all educated youth. 11 Boya, Vaddera and fishermenâs communities will be included in SCs. Source: deccan chronicle |
