May 05, 2024
Dharmavaram (Andhra Pradesh) [India], May 5 : Launching a scathing attack on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Telugu Desam Party Chief N Chandrababu Naidu said on Sunday that CM Jagan is a "dictator in nature and a psycho in behaviour".
Naidu told ANI that CM Jagan Mohan Reddy has looted and destroyed the economy of the state.
"There are some clear indications, that his mental condition is not sound. It is what we have been fighting for the last many days. A stable person will make stable decisions. He is a dictator in nature and a psycho in behaviour. He has looted the state and destroyed the economy. Only Jagan Mohan Reddy has money in the state, everyone else is poor. Now he is bidding for private lands as well. How can he control my property? If I have to sell my land, I have to get permission from the officer, who is appointed by Jagan. All these are mad acts," Naidu said.
While responding to CM Jagan's remarks "Chandrababu Naidu is playing dirty politics and instigating my sister against me", the TDP chief asked, "If tomorrow there is a difference between him and his wife, can he blame me for that too? He has to manage his family."
Earlier in April, taking a dig at the opposition leaders, CM Jagan said that they are unable to face me alone in the political arena; the TDP, JSP, and BJP are united to conspire against me.
"Unfortunately, my two sisters (referring to Sharmila and Sunita) are being used as part of their conspiracy," he said.
Further, speaking on the issue that his ally party, the BJP, is raising in its rallies about 4 per cent reservations to Muslims in Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu said that from the beginning, they have been supporting the 4 per cent reservation and that will continue.
Also, exuding confidence in winning both the Lok Sabha elections and Assembly elections, Chandrababu Naidu said that there is an anti-YSR-Congress party wave in Andhra Pradesh.
"We are going to sweep the polls. Out of 25 seats (in Lok Sabha), we are going to win 24 or 25 and will win 160+ MLAs in the Assembly elections. We are seeing a very clear indication that the crowd is very enthusiastic," he said.
The Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in Andhra Pradesh will be simultaneously held on May 13. The counting of votes will take place on June 4.
Andhra Pradesh has 175 Assembly seats, and 25 Lok Sabha seats. In the 2019 Assembly elections, the YSRCP won with a thumping majority of 151 seats, while the TDP was confined to 23 seats.
In the Lok Sabha polls, the YSRCP won 22 seats, while the TDP could only win three seats.
