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.
