Vijayawada: Unemployed JAC state convenor Sk Siddik stated that the people of Andhra Pradesh had decisively defeated Jagan's rule in the 2024 general assembly elections, reducing the YSRCP to just 11 seats, yet they showed no shame. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing the media, Siddik said that instead of observing YSRCP's 'Backstabbing Day' on June 4, they would celebrate it as 'Heart Attack Day for Jagan.' Siddik accused the YSRCP of deceiving unemployed youth with false promises, including providing job calendars every year, filling 6,500 police jobs annually, and creating mega DSC jobs. However, failed to fulfill even a single promise. He also alleged that Prashant Kishore-led IPAC staged a drama by portraying women as investors but failed to provide even a single private job. Siddik questioned whether issuing notifications for 16,347 teacher jobs, filling 6,100 police constable posts, or chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and IT minister Lokesh's efforts to bring investments worth ₹9 lakh crore from Davos, creating employment for six lakh people, constituted 'backstabbing.' He challenged YSRCP leaders to an open debate on job creation.

TDP leaders slam Jagan for encouraging ‘divisive and disruptive' elements
Senior TDP leaders criticised YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for encouraging 'divisive and disruptive elements' under the guise of offering support during his visit to Tenali on Tuesday. Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad accused Mr. Jagan Monan Reddy of sympathising with the groups allegedly involved in anti-social activities, while ignoring the plight of victims such as the family of Subramanyam, a driver, who had allegedly been murdered by a YSRCP MLC. 'Political theatrics' Ponnur MLA Dhulipalla Narendra Kumar objected to the YSRCP activists standing atop a police vehicle during Mr. Jagan's visit, and described it as a deliberate attempt to provoke and revive what he termed as 'Jagan 2.0', a phase marked by intimidation and political theatrics. He urged the police to take legal action against those responsible for such acts, stating that such behavior sets a dangerous precedent. Parchur MLA Yeluri Sambasiva Rao termed Mr. Jagan's Tenali visit as a ploy to divert attention from the controversies and failures of the YSRCP government between 2019-24. He alleged that Mr. Jagan's political legacy was riddled with betrayal, corruption, and familial discord, including unresolved allegations related to land, mining, and welfare promises. Promises fulfilled In contrast, Mr. Sambasiva Rao said the TDP-led NDA government had fulfilled 70% of its poll promises in the first one year. Key achievements included increase in pension amounts, resumption of Anna Canteens, financial support to fishermen, and road repairs. He emphasised the government's commitment to inclusive welfare and transparency. The TDP leaders appealed to the people to remain vigilant against the misinformation campaign, and reaffirmed their commitment to development and good governance under Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's leadership.

Jagan Reddy accuses CM Chandrababu Naidu of pushing Andhra Pradesh to 'debt trap'
Former Andhra Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy New Delhi: Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy launched a scathing attack against Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, accusing his government of pushing the state into a 'debt trap' by borrowing heavily with 'nothing to show' in terms of development or welfare. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief pointed out that the current government has borrowed an amount equal to 44 percent of the total debt incurred during the YSRCP's five-year term. He claimed this borrowing has not translated into development or welfare outcomes. '@ncbn garu, you claim decades of experience as CM and deep understanding of governance. But in one year, your government borrowed 44% of what we did in five, without delivering any development or welfare,' Jagan wrote. . @ncbn garu, you claim that you possess decades of experience as CM and your so-called deep understanding of governance, but what have those decades of experience delivered? In just one year, your Government availed a debt equivalent to 44% of the total debt our Government… — YS Jagan Mohan Reddy (@ysjagan) June 2, 2025 Jagan cited figures from the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) and the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) to back his claims: Fiscal Deficit to GSDP rose from 4.08% to 5.12 percent Revenue Deficit to GSDP increased from 2.65% to 3.61 percent Debt-to-GSDP climbed to 35.64 percent, despite the absence of external shocks like the pandemic Only 23.49% of borrowings were used for capital expenditure in 2024–25, compared to 33.25% under YSRCP 'Despite claims of administrative experience, these figures point to a worsening financial situation,' Jagan said.

Naidu has also stated that the TDP is a case study in how to run a government, contrasting it with the YSRCP, which he claims exemplifies poor governance.

Minister Nadendla questions intention of former CM Jagan's visit to Tenali
GUNTUR: Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar on Monday accused the previous YSRCP government of turning Tenali into a centre for ganja smuggling. Speaking to mediapersons in Vijayawada, Nadendla accused the former regime of enabling rival gangs by unofficially assigning them separate zones for cannabis distribution. 'These gangs, intoxicated by ganja, resorted to unchecked violence, even assaulting innocent citizens,' he said, citing the May 2023 attack on software engineer Karthik during a visit to Tenali. The minister, who also represents the constituency, questioned Jagan's intent in visiting Tenali, asking whether it was to console victims or show solidarity with rowdy-sheeters. Nadendla also condemned a former YSRCP MLA for alleged links to the gangs and for making provocative remarks during the elections. He claimed that cannabis was cultivated in homes in areas like Ithanagar, endangering children from neighbouring Muslim-majority localities such as Tellaprolu. Telangana police, he claimed, were also attacked while pursuing smugglers, and anti-narcotics officers were transferred under political pressure. 'Unlike the chaos of the past, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan are restoring peace,' the minister said, warning Jagan not to instigate unrest during his visit, as allegedly occurred during past incidents in Amalapuram. 34.81 lakh people receive ration in two days On distribution of essentials through ration shops, Nadendla said that 34.81 lakh people received ration through 29,760 fair price shops over two days — a 60% increase compared to the 25.18 lakh last year. He added that over 3.7 lakh elderly and disabled beneficiaries received doorstep delivery. Portability and server issues were addressed promptly.
