Earlier on Saturday, TDP national president N Chandrababu Naidu has alleged that “not a single project” has been completed in the Rayalseema region under the leadership of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.

The TDP chief also took a swipe at the prolonged absence of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy from direct interactions with the public.

While addressing a public gathering in Ra Kadali Ra, he questioned the timing of the recently organized program “Siddam,” expressing confusion over its purpose.

Naidu further asserted that many people are eager to see the Chief Minister return home. In his address, Naidu pointed out that “CM Jagan Mohan Reddy has not engaged in public meetings for four and a half years.” He questioned the timing and purpose of the recently organized program called “Siddam,” expressing confusion about its objectives. Naidu emphasized that there is significant anticipation among the public for the Chief Minister’s return.

As political tensions are high, Naidu’s remarks underscore the ongoing political dynamics in Andhra Pradesh, where leaders criticise each other’s actions and decisions, setting the stage for an active and competitive political landscape in the months ahead.
