Ahead of the Assembly polls in the state, TDP promised, "a new vision for Andhra Pradesh with Super Six guarantees."
The Super Six guarantees include creation of 20 lakh jobs for the youth, monthly unemployment allowance of Rs 3,000 if TDP comes to power.
Giving progress card of his government, the Chief Minister said, "In the span of 58 months, 2.30 lakh government job recruitments were completed. Do you believe that government schemes will reach doorsteps without any corruption? It's possible only with genuine effort. Fifty percent reservation has been implemented in this timeframe."
The Chief Minister called TDP supremo "habitual offender".
"Chandrababu Naidu is a habitual offender. In the past, he cheated with manifestos, projecting the same photos on top. Once again, he is presenting a manifesto to betray the public," Jagan said.
