Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly criticised the state government, accusing Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and IT Minister Nara Lokesh of using religion for political purposes.
Speaking to the media, Jagan alleged that the leaders are politicising the Tirupati laddu issue and spreading misinformation to gain political advantage. He claimed that they are “dragging God into politics” instead of focusing on real governance issues.
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president also accused the ruling government of targeting his party members. He said there have been coordinated attacks on the homes of YSRCP leaders across the state. According to him, these incidents show a pattern of harassment and political pressure.
Jagan further alleged that Andhra Pradesh is witnessing a “jungle raj” under the TDP-led NDA government, where law and order are not properly maintained.
He said his party will seek justice by approaching constitutional and legal authorities, including the Supreme Court and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). He added that the YSRCP will challenge what he called false propaganda related to the Tirupati adulteration case.
The remarks come amid rising political tensions between the YSRCP and the ruling alliance in the state.
