Amit Shah blasts Jagan on various issues. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during a recent election rally in Andhra Pradesh, delivered a blistering critique of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his party, the YSR Congress. Shah accused them of fostering corruption, land grabbing, and criminal activities within the state.
Development Stagnation: Shah alleged that under Jagan Reddy's leadership, development has come to a standstill, investments have dried up, and unemployment has reached alarming levels. Infrastructure projects remain stalled while illegal activities like land grabbing are thriving.
Corruption and Mafia Rule: The Home Minister labeled the YSR Congress government as a breeding ground for corruption and mafia influence, emphasizing the need to eradicate these issues from the state.
Polavaram Project Delays: Shah criticized the government's handling of the Polavaram Project, a crucial irrigation project, accusing them of embezzlement and hindering its progress. He pledged to expedite the project under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu and the NDA alliance.
The BJP has formed an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) led by N. Chandrababu Naidu and the JanaSena Party headed by actor-politician Pawan Kalyan for the Andhra Pradesh elections. Shah emphasized that the alliance aims to combat corruption, crime, and illegal activities, and to reinstate Amaravati as the state capital.
Shah also highlighted the achievements of the Modi government at the national level, particularly the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He asserted that the NDA alliance is committed to development and progress, urging voters to choose Prime Minister Modi for a third term.
The completion of the Polavaram Project, deemed the lifeline of Andhra Pradesh, was a key focus of Shah's address. He assured the public that the NDA alliance would prioritize its rapid completion to provide irrigation and drinking water to the people.
With the Andhra Pradesh elections approaching, the political landscape remains charged with accusations and counter-accusations. The impact of Shah's scathing attack on the YSR Congress and the electoral outcome remain to be seen.
