Amaravati erupted in political drama as YSR Congress Party unleashed a scathing attack on the TDP-JSP-Nationalist Congress Party alliance, alleging it scripted a deceitful address for Governor S. Abdul Nazeer. The uproar came during the joint session of the state legislature at the budget session’s kickoff.
YSRCP lawmakers, present under the guidance of party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, disrupted proceedings with slogans before staging a walkout. They decried the speech as packed with distortions, baseless accusations, and inflated figures aimed at tarnishing their past governance.
Taking center stage, MLA Tatiparthi Chandrasekhar mocked the address as recycled propaganda from pro-TDP media. He questioned the coalition’s priorities, asserting it shies away from real progress while hyping unattainable visions.
A key grievance: denial of main opposition status to YSRCP’s 11 MLAs, which the party views as a tactic to evade tough questions on mounting state debt—now at Rs 3.27 lakh crore in under two years. Chandrasekhar flipped the narrative, noting YSRCP’s corruption-free welfare delivery versus TDP’s depleted coffers upon exit.
Instead of rebuilding, the alliance is accused of prioritizing elite real estate deals in Amaravati and Vizag land grabs. YSRCP insists on formal recognition as leader of opposition, ready to engage constructively, and calls on the governor for justice.
The standoff signals escalating tensions ahead of key legislative battles, with YSRCP positioning itself as the true voice of public welfare against what it terms a debt-trap regime. Watch for more fireworks as fiscal policies come under the microscope.
