The fact that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has pushed the state of AP into the kind of bankruptcy unheard of, by any state in the country, throughout its entire history, is something to be thought about. What has to go so wrong for a state to be in a terrible state of bankruptcy? Well, the simple answer would be the YSRCP government’s various welfare schemes, which resulted in the treasury running dry, and also the fact that the government failed to create any sources of revenue in the years since it came to power in the state.
In fact, the YSRCP government went so far as to cancel and nullify any plays laid by the previous government, for revenue generation in the state, which got so bad that no one has been turning up to invest in the state anymore. Things got worse recently after the government not only announced increased power tariffs, but also power cuts throughout the state. Even the national media started to talk about the power cuts in AP, highlighting the birth of a baby in Anakapally government hospital, amid candle lights and mobile torches, due to the incessant powercuts in the state.
For quite some time now, an anti-incumbent feeling has been brewing among the people of AP, who have been observing the ways of the YSRCP government, which started the demise of the state with the 3 Capitals plan, which it continues to stick to, no matter the cost. Then there’s also the fact that the YSRCP government has not fulfilled any of its elections promises – with the exception of implementing the Navaratnalu scheme. Today, with so much more going wrong in the state, #ByeByeYSJagan has been trending on Twitter since morning, with users sharing various memes and information about how YS Jagan’s rule has impacted the state, and how it destroyed the state as well. Some have even called YS Jagan the worst CM in the history of India. With the way things are escalating, against the AP government, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the YSRCP doesn’t return to power in 2024.
