On questioning about his party's stance on YSRCP chief Jagan's allegations that the TDP has failed on all counts, AP Labour Minister Atchannaidu said that Jagan was only trying to gain political mileage by criticising the TDP. He challenged the YSRCP chief for a debate over the promises fulfilled by the TDP. In the past year, a number of welfare measures were implemented for the benefit of labourers, he said. The government has waived returns from loans to farmers and to DWACRA members, he said.
