Next elections are a battle between the poor and capitalists: Andhra Pradesh CM
Yemmiganuru (Andhra Pradesh) (PTI): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday termed the next Assembly elections in the state as a battle between the poor and the dominant capitalist class.
He said this at a public meeting in Yemmiganuru in Kurnool district where he disbursed funds under a direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme and called the battle a 'class war'.
"The battle is not between castes, it is a class war with the poor man on one side and the dominant capitalist class on the other," Reddy said after disbursing financial assistance under the 'Jagananna Chedodu' scheme.
In this battle, the Chief Minister said he did not have the support of half a dozen media houses like the TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu or Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan.
However, he said God is there by his side and he has the blessings of the people.
He called on people to remember one thing while going to cast their votes in the next elections, whether their families benefitted or not. If they benefitted, he asked them to stand by him like soldiers.
The CM disbursed around Rs 325 crore under the 'Jagananna Chedodu' scheme to eligible beneficiaries, which included tailors, barbers and others at Rs 10,000 per head as financial assistance.

10 Ahmedabad schools get bomb threat; turns out to be hoax after search
Ahmedabad (PTI): As many as 10 private schools in Ahmedabad received an email on Wednesday threatening bomb blasts, which later turned out to be a hoax as nothing suspicious was found during searches, police said.
As a precautionary measure, these schools declared a holiday for the afternoon shift as the morning shift was already over when they received the emails, having a common text, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 1, Harshad Patel said.
After being alerted, police, along with the bomb detection and disposal squad, dog squad and anti-sabotage teams, reached the schools and conducted a thorough search, Patel told reporters.
"In the email sent to the schools, it was claimed that bomb blasts will be carried out in these establishments during the afternoon. As a precautionary measure, these schools declared a holiday for the afternoon shift as the morning shift was already over," he said.
"Our teams reached the schools and conducted a thorough search. However, nothing suspicious was found. Cybercrime teams are now investigating the source of these emails and who was behind them," Patel said.
The exact contents of these emails are not disclosed because the matter is under investigation, he said.
The email purportedly stated that blasts at these schools will take place at 1.11 pm.
The schools which received the threat included Zydus School of Excellence, Maharaja Agrasen Vidhyalaya, Udgam School For Children and Zebar School For Children, the sources said.
In the last two years, several private schools across the state and the Gujarat High Court have received such hoax threats on multiple occasions.
