I am here to tell you about Congress misrule

"I am not here to urge you to make me the chief minister.

 If you support me, I will become one.

 But that's not the issue.

 I am here to tell you the kind of mess the state is in because of the misrule of the Congress government," Telugu Desam president and former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said, while addressing his first public meeting after beginning his 'Vastunna Meekosam' Padayatra in Hindupur on Tuesday.

 Naidu, after offering prayers at the Anjaneyaswamy temple here, led with the Padayatra to NTR Circle where he took the Congress, the TRS and the YSR Congress to task for their politics of attempting to annihilate the Telugu Desam Party.

 In his nearly one-hour address, Naidu trained his guns at the Congress in the state and the Centre for the problems the people are facing now and wanted them to revolt against the government which he alleged has become corrupt and inefficient.

 "If villages wake up, the Congress government would understand that the end has begun.

 I want all of you to be partners in my Padayatra to cleanse stables in the government," he said.

 Naidu said the Congress was swallowing other parties in an attempt to isolate and annihilate the Telugu Desam.

 "The Praja Rajyam Party (PRP), which came with the slogan of dispensing social justice merged with the Congress.

 If the PRP had not been there in the 2009 elections, the TDP would have come to power and we would not have had the problems that were are facing now," he said.

 Then there is Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) which too is willing to merge itself with the Congress.

 TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao was in Delhi for about a month offering to merge his party.

 Then he took the YSR Congress to task by terming it as 'small Congress'.

 "This 'small Congress' too one day will merge with the 'Big Congress' and there is no doubt about it," Naidu said.

 He described the Congress government in the state as one which had no sense of shame.

 "A minister who has been listed as an accused in Jagan’s assets case by the CBI is still continuing as a minister, " he said referring to roads and buildings minister Dharmana Prasada Rao.

 The demon of corruption in the form of Congress government is eating into the vitals of the state, he said.

 Naidu said because of lack of interest in administration among the rulers, several sectors are suffering from various problems, the foremost being the lack of adequate power supply either to the agriculture or industrial or domestic sector.

 " A small child approached me and asked me whether I can lift power cuts so that she could study at night.

 What answer can I give her?" he asked.
