The Story in Brief
Andhra Pradesh Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha accused YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of fomenting political unrest during his public visits under the pretext of showing solidarity with affected groups. Speaking at the Secretariat in Amaravati on Thursday, she said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, despite being over 75, works nearly 18 hours daily to attract investments and create jobs. She cited the EAGLE enforcement system as a key initiative against drug abuse and urged leaders not to glorify those facing criminal charges.
Earlier, CM Naidu warned that his government will not tolerate unlawful protests causing public inconvenience, referring to YSRCP demonstrations against alleged irregularities in the Mega DSC recruitment process. He claimed the protests were attended by rowdies and 'ganja gangs', not genuine teachers. Naidu also announced that the Veligonda and Uttarandhra Sujala Sravanthi projects will be completed by August end, and expressed hope that heavy rains will fill the Srisailam reservoir within two days.
The Indian Opinion
The back-and-forth between the ruling TDP and YSRCP over protest tactics is a tired playbook that distracts from real governance. Instead of trading barbs about 'ganja gangs' or 'law and order', both sides should focus on the actual demands of farmers and job seekers. The real test will be whether the EAGLE enforcement system reduces drug abuse or becomes a political tool, and if the promised irrigation projects are completed on time without cost overruns. Voters deserve fewer allegations and more accountability.
