Anantapuram, March 2: Former Minister Shailajanath has strongly criticized Chief Minister Chandrababu, asserting that his recent comments are contrary to the Constitution of India. He stated that the Chief Minister’s conduct is inconsistent with the oath taken during his swearing-in ceremony and accused Chandrababu of lowering the dignity of his position. Shailajanath questioned how it is justifiable to deny welfare and development benefits to YSRCP workers, emphasizing that the legacy of providing welfare benefits transcending caste, religion, and political affiliations belongs to YS Rajasekhara Reddy and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
He urged Chandrababu to learn from the governance model of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, highlighting that the Indian Constitution mandates leaders to perform their duties with integrity and purity of conscience.
The former minister further stressed that the Chief Minister and his cabinet should work beyond personal grudges and animosities. He accused TDP coalition leaders of posting derogatory and offensive remarks against YS Jagan and his family members on social media platforms, noting that despite these actions, the police have failed to take any action. Shailajanath raised a pointed question: “Is the law a mere relative of the TDP coalition?”
