YS Jagan referring to TDP spokesman Pattabhi’s derogatory remarks against him and the subsequent attack on the TDP office, Jagan observed, they use expletives and filthy language that none speaks in. I was also in the opposition but had never used such words. Such utterances evoke a reaction from well wishers who watch it on TV. Some of them, who can’t take it, may get BP and we can see their reaction across the State today.

TDP want to gain political mileage. He further charged the opposition with spreading lies and being deceitful in their words and deeds. They don’t even hesitate to create fissures among the people in the name of caste and religion for their political gain. We are also witness to the way systems are being managed if we do something for the good of the poor, they create legal hurdles for fear that Jagan may get a good name, Jagan alleged. We have honoured our commitments in the past two-and-a-half-years and we will continue to do so, Jagan said.
