Democracy Under Attack in Andhra Pradesh: Jagan Slams Chandrababu
Former Chief Minister and YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy launched a scathing attack on the TDP government, accusing it of “murdering democracy” in Andhra Pradesh.
During his three-day visit to Kadapa district, Jagan alleged that people were denied their fundamental right to vote in the recent Pulivendula ZPTC by-election. Villagers of Nallapureddypalle complained directly to Jagan that they were prevented from casting their votes due to the intimidation and violence of TDP-backed goons, allegedly with police support.
“The ruling party has no courage to face elections fairly. That is why they are blocking people from voting freely. This is nothing but democracy being strangled in broad daylight,” Jagan said.
Villagers staged a protest with placards, narrating how TDP workers allegedly used force to prevent voting. Jagan compared the situation to the 2019 pre-election Nandyal by-poll, reminding people how TDP had won with a majority of 27,000 votes back then, only to collapse later when YSRCP secured a majority of 35,000 in the same constituency.
He accused Chandrababu Naidu of betraying every section of society, failing to address farmers’ issues, and misleading women with false promises like the “Super Six” scheme. “No section of people is happy under this regime. This government is heading straight into the Bay of Bengal,” he remarked in a sharp dig.
Jagan further said, “Even if injustice is done temporarily, God will punish those who resort to such atrocities. The people are watching.”
The visit also included a symbolic water ritual at Ambakapalle, where Krishna river waters were brought through YSRCP-led projects. Local residents welcomed Jagan with flower showers, garlands, fireworks, and traditional drumbeats, displaying their continued support.
Interestingly, Jagan’s journey from Idupulapaya to Ambakapalle, a distance of just 47 km, took nearly six hours as thousands of villagers lined the route to greet him.
