The truncated state of Andhra Pradesh is boiling. The beleaguered state is marred by the politics between ruling and opposition parties and the people are paying the cost for it. The political rivalry between CM Jagan Reddy and Opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu is seems to be the root cause of the prevailing problems in the state leaving people to suffer.
Ever since Jagan took over the reigns of the state, he has been accused of indulging in targeting Opposition leader Chandrababu and his party TDP leaving the governance to the last. Political analysts like Sabbam Hari have openly found fault with Jagan for unnecessarily targeting Chandrababu right from his rented house in Undavalli – owned by Lingamaneni Ramesh – to the latest Vizag episode, Jagan has been categorically targeting Naidu in every instance.
Analysts like Sabbam Hari and Vundavalli Arun Kumar have criticised Jagan to mend his ways and asked him to focus on the state. Sabbam Hari went a step further and alleged that Jagan has “Chandrababu Naidu Phobia”.
Meanwhile, Naidu has made serious comments on CM Jagan accusing him of sending “Pulivendula Goondas” to stop him in Vizag and his Uttar Andhra Bus Yatra. Countering Naidu’s comments, YCP’s Vijay Sai Reddy remarked that both father-son duo (Chandrababu and Lokesh) are suffering from “Pulivendula Phobia”. Vijay Sai Reddy satirically demanded that the World Health Organisation (WHO) should immediately notify that there is a phobia called “Pulivendula Phobia”.
With both accusations and counter-accusations, it is evident that vendetta politics are ruling the roost in AP and thus development and progress have taken back seat in the state. It’s high time, CM Jagan and Opposition leader CBN should keep their egos and rivalry aside and come forward to do what is best for the state and its people. The whole dilemma surrounding capital shift to Vizag needs to be resolved at the earliest in order to further lose investments to neighbouring states Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
