Botsa questions TDP govt’s key decisions

Former minister Botsa Satyanarayana commended the policies of the newly formed TDP-led coalition government while also raising concerns about some of its decisions. The government, which has been in power for just 20 days, received both praise and scrutiny from the seasoned politician.
Speaking to the media people here on Sunday, Botsa made it clear that he would refrain from criticising the new regime, instead focusing on constructive feedback. He lauded the government’s decision to provide a pension of Rs 4,000, expressing hope that the coalition would also be able to fulfil their other promises.
However, Botsa did not shy away from addressing contentious issues. He spoke on the resignations of Vice Chancellors (VCs), stating that it is within the government’s rights to request these resignations. Despite this, he criticised the alliance leaders for barging into YSRCP offices, calling it inappropriate. Botsa also condemned the recent attack on the TDP office by party leaders, urging both parties to exercise restraint and maintain peace in Andhra Pradesh.
In a pointed remark, Botsa suggested that the damage caused by Jagan’s rule surpassed the harm from the state’s division, implying that this would become evident upon reviewing the relevant data. When asked about corruption allegations against him, Botsa chose not to respond, asserting that the truth would eventually come to light. Reflecting on the recent electoral defeat, Botsa acknowledged that it was due to the people’s rejection, a reality that the party must accept and learn from.
As the TDP-led coalition government navigates its early days in power, Botsa’s comments highlight the critical balance between praise and scrutiny, essential for a functioning democracy.
