Naidu said that jails in the State capital are already filled with corrupt leaders and the State might have to construct new jails for sending the remaining leaders. Alleging that Jagan indulged in corruption to tune of Rs 885 crore, he said that this amount could be used for laying of roads and solving drinking water problem in Payakaraopeta assembly constituency. Calling upon the people not to get misled and vote in favour of Jagan, he described the Congress leaders as 'thieves' and YSR Congress leaders as 'plunderers of the State'.

Naidu said that the Tdp was creating awareness among the electorate on this issue since a long time. He appealed to the voters to teach a fitting lesson to the Congress and YSR Congress leaders by defeating them in the by-elections.

The Tdp chief assured the people that he would develop Payakaraopeta Assembly constituency on the lines of Kuppam constituency in Chittoor district if the electorate vote in favour of Tdp candidate Chengala Venkat Rao in the by-elections.
