The recent electoral victory of the TDP-Janasena alliance in Andhra Pradesh, securing over 160 seats, marks a significant turn in the state’s political landscape. In response, Eenadu newspaper published a robust editorial addressing the outgoing Chief Minister, YS Jaganmohan Reddy, and his administration.
Eenadu’s editorial characterizes the election outcome as a triumph for the five crore people of Andhra Pradesh, relieving them of what it terms as the burdensome rule of Jaganmohan Reddy. The editorial criticizes the previous government, accusing it of authoritarianism and corruption, and describes the election as a historic moment of public revolt against perceived injustices.
Highlighting alleged mismanagement, the editorial asserts that the YSRC government plunged Andhra Pradesh into darkness across various sectors, undermined democratic principles, and left the state burdened with nearly ₹11 lakh crores in debt. It anticipates significant challenges ahead for the new coalition government, including the completion of pending projects and the development of the state capital, Amaravati.
