January 9 is historic day in Andhra Pradesh politics. It was on this day in 2019, Jagan Mohan Reddy completed his historic marathon walk from Idupulapaya in Kadapa to Ichapuram in Srikakulam district. He walked for 3468 km and the day finally landed him in the top seat.
The day is also becomes historic as Jagan Mohan Reddy as Chief Minister had launched yet another prestigious scheme from his Navarathnalu. He launched Amma Vodi scheme in Chittoor district on the day.
The scheme is aimed at giving Rs 15,000 to every mother who sends her children to the school. The scheme covers all children from LKG to Intermediate. It is extended to the children even in the private schools.
Thus, Jagan Mohan Reddy was busy on the day giving Rs 6456 crore from the state exchequer to benefit 81,72,224 children in the state.
Surprisingly, former chief minister and Leader of Opposition Chandrababu Naidu was busy begging on the streets.
Chandrababu Naidu went to Machilipatnam and went around the streets of this historic town begging. He begged from the people to take forward his movement to protect Amaravati where he and his loyalists invested several crore of rupees.
As alleged by the chief minister and the ruling YSR Congress leaders, a good number of politicians and NRIs have invested heavily in Amaravati. They purchased lands from the farmers even before Amaravati was announced as capital city.
Chandrababu Naidu is now under pressure from all these people to give them some sort of guarantee for their investment. It is now his responsibility to protect them and thus he was on the roads crying for Amaravati.
