Kothapalli Geetha said, "The central government schemes reached every tribal village in the Araku constituency. Every tribal person in the constituency loves Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We have seen that central government schemes reached the tribal people. But in the state, Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy changed the name and distributed the schemes of the central government under his name. A common Adivasi woman became the president of India. It's only possible with a BJP ruling."
