Andhra Pradesh Under Fire: Chandrababu Naidu Compares Jagan Mohan Reddy to Drug Lord Pablo Escobar

Fri, 26 Jul 2024

In a recent tweet, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu, sparked controversy by comparing current Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy's rule with the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar. The tweet read: 'Andhra Pradesh has become the 'Ganja capital' of the country under Jagan Mohan Reddy’s rule.' This statement comes as a stark criticism of Jagan's administration, particularly his handling of the state.

The comparison to Pablo Escobar, known for his notorious drug cartel and violent tactics, is an extraordinary one. It suggests that Naidu believes Jagan's rule has been marked by similar levels of violence and lawlessness. This accusation has raised eyebrows among many, who are left wondering what specific incidents or policies Naidu is referencing.

Meanwhile, Jagan Mohan Reddy has been conducting protests in Delhi and hosting exhibitions showcasing photos and videos of the alleged violence that has taken place during his tenure. The event was joined by Akhilesh Yadav, another prominent politician from Uttar Pradesh. This display of solidarity may be seen as a response to Naidu's scathing critique.

As the political debate rages on, it remains to be seen how Jagan will respond to these allegations. For now, the people of Andhra Pradesh are left to wonder what lies behind Naidu's provocative comparison. Will this escalate into a full-blown controversy or remain a heated exchange between two prominent politicians?
