Allegations of Political Opportunism:
Jagan criticized Chandrababu for his alleged political opportunism, claiming he plays both sides by associating with BJP during the day and Congress at night. He further alleged that Chandrababu is colluding with Revanth Reddy to remove YSRCP from power in AP.
Sharmila's Entry into Congress:
Jagan also addressed his sister YS Sharmila's recent entry into the Congress party, suggesting that Chandrababu encouraged her move while simultaneously criticizing her with harsh words. He labeled Chandrababu as a "good bird," implying hypocrisy and double standards.
Congress' Past Actions and Family Division:
Jagan expressed resentment towards the Congress party, highlighting their past actions that led to his imprisonment and the inclusion of his father, former CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy's name, in a charge sheet. He accused Congress of dividing the state and now causing a rift within his own family.
Vote for Congress Equals Vote for Chandrababu:
Jagan urged voters not to support the Congress party, arguing that a vote for them is equivalent to supporting Chandrababu Naidu. He dismissed Congress' vote bank as insignificant and accused them of attempting to split YSRCP votes. He cautioned people against "putting out their own eyes" by voting for Congress and indirectly aiding Chandrababu's victory.
Defense of Avinash Reddy:
Jagan defended MP Avinash Reddy, who is facing allegations in the YS Vivekananda Reddy murder case. He stated that he supports Avinash because of his innocence and good character, urging people to ensure his victory with a significant majority.
Revanth Reddy's Visit to Kadapa:
Jagan's comments came in the context of Revanth Reddy's planned visit to Kadapa to support Sharmila and pay respects at YS Rajasekhara Reddy's memorial. Jagan questioned Revanth Reddy's motives and eligibility to pay tribute to his father.
Overall:
Jagan Mohan Reddy's strong remarks against Chandrababu Naidu and Revanth Reddy highlight the political tensions and rivalries in Andhra Pradesh. He aims to portray himself as the protector of the state's interests, while accusing his opponents of betrayal and opportunism.
