Former Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu highlighted that the TDP-BJP-JSP manifesto aims for double-digit economic growth, with realistic promises compared to the YSRCP’s pledges.
He acknowledged doubts about implementing the manifesto due to a hefty debt of ₹14 lakh crore. To boost revenue, he suggested exploiting natural resources like mines and reducing irregularities in liquor sales and unnecessary spending.
Ramakrishnudu criticized YSRCP’s advisors and pledged to increase tax revenue and seek a 50% rise in the 16th Finance Commission grant, leveraging the BJP’s alliance. He highlighted low capital expenditures that are stifling growth and causing payment delays for employees. The manifesto outlines plans to bolster the rural economy, attract investments, and prioritize welfare schemes.
Ramakrishnudu accused Jagan of falsely claiming the alliance would end existing schemes.
