Ananthapuram: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy compared opposition leader and TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu to an old ageing tiger of Panchatantra fame, wherein it befriends four cunning foxes to prey on human beings using bait.

In his address in a public meeting at Narpala on Wednesday in Ananthapuram District he said that the septuagenarian attracted four foxes into his fold to spread lies and cheat the people. He also said that resorting to political gimmicks to hoodwink people.

Chandrababu Naidu has been trying to convince people saying that he has totally changed. He is trying to lure people with his cunning ideas ahead of the elections next year. However, the fact remains that he took all sections of society for a ride during his tenure, he added.

Chandrababu is pursuing a policy of loot, stash and devour with the support of his friendly media and foster son. He had cheated farmers, women self-help groups, pensioners, unemployed youth and other sections of the society during his rule, he retorted.

YS Jagan urged the people to become his soldiers and work for YSRCP’s victory in the next polls if they feel they have benefited from the welfare schemes. You are only my courage and confidence and I fully depend on you and God, he said.
