*Bhumana slams Naidu, Lokesh*

Tirupati, April 29: YSRCP State Official Spokesperson Bhumana Karunakar Reddy strongly criticized Chandrababu Naidu and Nara Lokesh, condemning the remarks made against YS Jagan Mohan Reddy during the TDP executive swearing-in and rejecting allegations of “murder politics” against YSRCP as baseless. He accused Chandrababu of exhibiting “megalomania” and relying on exaggerated self-projection supported by sections of the media, while asserting that it was Naidu who introduced violent and caste-based politics in the state and was linked to several past incidents. Bhumana pointed out that YS Jagan was subjected to false cases and jailed for 16 months, and alleged that under the current regime, YSRCP leaders and cadres are facing increasing attacks and fabricated cases. He dismissed criticism of social media as an attempt to silence dissent and said the government has failed to implement its “Super Six” promises, resorting instead to diversionary politics and misuse of religion. He also raised concerns over alleged irregularities in TTD, including land allocations to private firms such as Oberoi Hotels and Divyasree Developers, and accused the government of allowing large-scale sand and gravel exploitation. Stating that corruption and unethical practices are on the rise, Bhumana affirmed that YS Jagan remains a leader committed to people’s welfare, expressed confidence that YSRCP will return to power in 2029, and warned that the party will continue to fight against vindictive and anarchic governance.
