Former minister K Kannababu, in a scathing attack on TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu and his son Lokesh, said that the duo was using foul language against Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy out of frustration. Addressing the media here on Friday, he said that the TDP chief and Lokesh were behaving like guest politicians without any agenda and giving useless slogans against the Chief Minister.
Instead of taking out yatras, the duo should tender an apology to the people of the State for ignoring them during their tenure, he said. Reacting to Naidu’s terming the Chief Minister as the biggest misfortune for the State, he said that Andhra Pradesh witnessed severe droughts during the period of 2014-19.
The drought situation in the State has changed during the three-and-a-half years of the YSRC rule and there were adequate rains with reservoirs brimming.
“The Opposition leader, who has no achievements to talk about, is the biggest misfortune, while Jagan Mohan Reddy is a fortune. The former minister also recalled that on several occasions, former Chief Minister NT Rama Rao had said that Naidu was a better actor than him.
“People are not going to believe Naidu as they have witnessed the dark age during his term,” he said.
Referring to the padyatra undertaken by Lokesh, he said it was getting a poor response from the people. “On what capacity is Lokesh speaking against the Chief Minister? He is not even an elected MLA,” he said.
Taking a dig at the ‘abusive remarks and body language’ of Lokesh during his padyatra, he said that it’s better for Lokesh to control his tongue and refrain from abusing the Chief Minister. Reacting to Naidu’s announcement of appointing Sadhikara Saradhis for every 30 houses, he said that the TDP chief was copying the ideas of the Chief Minister.
