Chandrababu’s bankruptcy, lies & anti-farmer rule laid bare

Tadepalli, Dec 9: Former minister Perni Nani declared that Andhra Pradesh once stood as a proud agricultural brand, but Chandrababu Naidu single-handedly destroyed that identity. Every government before worked for farmers, he said, but Chandrababu alone abandoned agriculture and earned the reputation of being openly anti-farmer. Nani reminded that Chandrababu himself admitted in the Assembly that the previous government spent Rs. 3.33 lakh crore, yet before elections, he lied that it was Rs. 15 lakh crore and now shifts to Rs. 10 lakh crore, proving that falsehoods are the foundation of his politics. In just 18 months, Chandrababu pushed AP into Rs. 2.66 lakh crore additional debt, even mortgaging state assets worth Rs. 1.90 lakh crore to borrow just Rs. 9,000 crore, turning governance into bankruptcy. He demanded a White Paper on where all this debt actually went and asked whether these loans were funding the private jets and helicopters used by Chandrababu, Lokesh, and Pawan Kalyan.
Nani challenged Chandrababu to face former Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath in a public debate on revenues and asset creation, reminding that Jagan built four ports, ten harbours, seventeen medical colleges and thousands of village/ward secretariats, wealth Chandrababu is now freely using. He criticised the CM for conducting PTMs wearing a school uniform only to hide that school infrastructure was strengthened under Jagan. He condemned the removal of English medium and questioned whether Lokesh’s children or MLAs’ children study in Telugu medium while poor children are denied quality education. He lashed out at the failure to implement Super Six and Super Seven promises and the refusal to allot even a single cent of land to the poor, calling wealth-creation under Chandrababu a fantasy while reckless borrowing is the only reality. Hard-working TDP cadres are ignored while defectors are rewarded.
Ridiculing Chandrababu’s claim that he “taught Anantapur farmers how to farm,” Nani asked why crops like banana, mango, tomato and pomegranate still have no remunerative price, and condemned the CM for insulting farmers by calling them “greedy.” He said people have understood these deceptions and are ready to teach Chandrababu a lesson in the next election. Nani attacked Chandrababu for misusing the CM’s post to quash his own cases, calling it a grave crime, and pointed out that even TTD’s Ravi Kumar’s offence is minor compared to Chandrababu’s decades of looting.
On the Indigo crisis, Nani held Union Minister Rammohan Naidu responsible for failing to enforce mandatory pilot-rest regulations issued by the Centre. While Indigo expanded its fleet without increasing staff, the minister never conducted a review and spent his time making reels. When passengers questioned the crisis, Chandrababu tried to deflect blame onto the opposition. Nani said the incident not only shamed Telugu people but also embarrassed the nation, and added that the minister’s guilt was clear from his refusal to face Arnab Goswami’s debate.
