YSRCP stages ‘Betrayal Day' protests across Andhra on first anniversary of 2024 poll results
The NDA alliance comprising TDP, BJP and Janasena secured a landslide victory, winning 164 assembly seats out of 175 and relegating the YSRCP to just 11 seats. The 2024 election results were declared exactly a year ago.
Hundreds of YSRCP leaders, cadres and activists took part in marches across the state, including major urban centres like Tirupati, Vijayawada, Anantapur and several others.
Amaravati, June 4 (PTI) The YSRCP on Wednesday held 'Betrayal Day' protests across Andhra Pradesh, marking one year anniversary of the 2024 election results and subsequent formation of the TDP-led government.
Carrying placards and black flags, YSRCP supporters denounced the N Chandrababu Naidu-led government and raised slogans against it.
'The distinction of cheating and backstabbing all sections of people in this state goes to Chandrababu Naidu and the alliance leaders,' a YSRCP leader told media.
'Babu (Naidu) definitely cheated and today is betrayal day,' read a protest placard in Tirupati.
Protesters also highlighted the 'unfulfilled' Super Six promises made by Naidu during the 2024 poll campaign. One placard in the temple town accused the CM of 'cheating' women by not delivering on the promise of Rs 1,500 per month to women aged 19 to 59 years.
The Super Six promises included among others 20 lakh jobs for youth or Rs 3,000 monthly unemployment allowance and free bus travel for women.
Meanwhile, TDP general secretary and IT Minister Nara Lokesh asserted that exactly a year ago democracy won and people won over the 'destructive' rule, referring to the previous YSRCP regime.
'The people's aspirations won a resounding victory over the anarchic and factional rule. This victory is the victory of five crore people. The people's verdict has further increased the responsibility of our alliance,' said Lokesh in a post on X.
With Naidu's experience in governance and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's blessings, the reconstruction of Andhra Pradesh has begun, he said.
According to Lokesh, the people's government (NDA alliance govt) is giving top priority to development and welfare.
'I thank the five crore people who blessed the NDA government. I request you to stand by us with the same spirit to keep Andhra Pradesh at the top of development. Best wishes to everyone on the occasion of people's verdict day,' Lokesh added. PTI STH ROH

Trump asks supreme court to halt court order over education department
The Trump administration on Friday urged the Supreme Court to block a lower court ruling that reinstated nearly 1,400 Education Department employees who were dismissed under President Donald Trump's controversial plan to dismantle the agency. In an emergency appeal, the Justice Department said US District Judge Myong Joun in Boston overstepped his authority when he issued a preliminary injunction last month at the request of several Democratic-led states, school districts, and teachers' unions. The Boston-based First US Circuit Court of Appeals had already rejected the administration's request to pause the injunction while the appeals process played out. The lower court order required the government not only to reverse the mass layoffs but also to halt broader efforts to dissolve the department — one of Trump's headline campaign promises. In March, Trump signed an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, triggering immediate backlash from opponents who called it a direct attack on public education. Critics have noted that while the Education Department does not directly operate schools, it plays a critical role in dispersing federal funds, enforcing civil rights laws such as Title IX, and supporting low-income students, students with disabilities, and higher education institutions.
