Tadepalli, March 12: Overcoming all obstructions, youth and students along with YSRCP have served the first warning to Chandarbabu Naidu with the grand success of Yuvatha Poru programme, former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has said.
In a social media post on X, he condemned the highhandedness of police on youth and students at various places and said the agitation sounds warning bells to the coalition government.
Our efforts to ensure that students should not stop education due to lack of money by introducing Vidya Devena and Vasathi Devena for hostel and mess charges have been watered down by the coalition government reminding of the previous term of Chandrababu Naidu, he said.
The fees reimbursement payable quarterly at Rs 700 crores works out to Rs 2,800 crore annually and Rs 1,100 crore towards Vasathi Devena aggregation to Rs3.900 crore. The coalition government has allocated just Rs 700 crore, which did not reach the intended beneficiaries. The previous year amount due of Rs 3,200 crore and the current year’s Rs 3,900 crore sums to Rs 7,100 crore which is the amount the students should be getting. But the budget allocation this year is meagre Rs 2,600 which shows the intent of the government
The election promise of creating 20 lakh jobs or Rs 3,000 unemployment stipend is left out totally without any allocation in the previous and this year budgets and on this account the government owes Rs 72,000 to every unemployed youth. Privatizing medical colleges has deprived the poor students of studying medicine and keeping quality medicare out the reach of poor people.
Students, parents and youth have shown dissent even before the first year has passed, he said and thanked all the participants and YSRCP cadre for the participation and assured that the Party would stand with all sections of people to question the failures of the government.
Yuvatha Poru, first warning to coalition govt.
