Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused current Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of spreading false information about Tirupati laddu adulteration to damage the temple’s reputation. Jagan alleges Naidu’s actions are politically motivated and aimed at distracting from the government’s failures.
The Andhra Pradesh education department has renamed several student welfare schemes, previously named after former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, with the names of renowned figures in education, such as Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. The move, initiated by the state’s ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government, aims to free educational institutions from political influence and make them centers of learning.
Nandamuri Balakrishna, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate for Hindupur Assembly Constituency, has criticized YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the incumbent Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, for his ‘tyrannical’ rule. Balakrishna, addressing a public meeting in Kandukur on Friday, asserted that Jagan seeks a second chance after failing to win the people’s trust. He highlighted the failures of Jagan’s administration, including the suppression of Amaravati farmers, the crushing of the state’s capital dream, and the introduction of cheap liquor after promising prohibition. Balakrishna contrasted Jagan’s rule with that of his father, former Chief Minister NT Rama Rao, who, according to him, provided food, shelter, and livelihood opportunities to the poor and middle classes. He urged voters to support TDP candidates in Nellore for a brighter future.
