Jagan unfit to be in politics, says Bheemunipatnam MLA

Bheemunipatnam MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao has criticised YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, claiming that he is unfit to be in politics. The former Minister stated that a true politician should show qualities like compassion, empathy and concern for the public, but Mr. Jagan lacked any of these.

Referring to the recent incident during Mr. Jagan’s visit to Palnadu district, where an elderly man named Singaiah died after being run over by Mr. Jagan’s convoy, Mr. Srinivasa Rao condemned the YSRCP’s response. He said it was outrageous that the party leaders downplayed the tragedy by pointing out that the deceased was a YSRCP supporter, questioning why it should concern the TDP.

Addressing the media at his residence on Tuesday, Mr. Srinivasa Rao stated that after five disastrous years under the YSRCP rule, the people delivered a strong verdict reducing the party to just 11 seats. Instead of assessing the reasons for the defeat and addressing public concerns, Mr. Jagan is again trying to create unrest in the State and gain public attention. The former Minister alleged that Mr. Jagan is now touring villages and inciting law and order issues, even causing deaths. These deaths should be treated as murders by the YSRCP president, he said. If this behaviour continues, Mr. Jagan could face even greater setbacks in the coming years, he noted.

He expressed surprise at Mr. Jagan questioning whether the previous YSRCP government had caused any trouble for the TDP or the JSP leaders. He said the Jagan’s administration had harassed Mr. N. Chandrababu Naidu, obstructed Mr. Pawan Kalyan’s visit to Visakhapatnam, and interfered with Mr. Nara Lokesh’s ‘Praja Galam’ yatra.
