Naidu Criticizes Jagan, Calls for Stronger Institutions in Andhra Pradesh
N Chandrababu Naidu, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, said that people should use politics to build strong institutions.
He accused YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the leader of the opposition party, of trying to weaken these institutions.
Naidu talked about how his government put 15,000 cameras in the state to stop crime, but they fell into bad shape when the opposition was in power.
He said the new government fixed the cameras again.
He also said that the opposition tried to make a man’s death look like murder, but video evidence proved it was an accident.
Naidu wants everyone to respect the law and work within it.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu attacked YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, accusing him of weakening democratic institutions.
Naidu highlighted that his government installed 15,000 CCTV cameras between 2014‑2019, which deteriorated under the YSRC term but were restored after the new administration.
He criticized Jagan’s planned visit to a jail in Srikakulam to meet a former minister with serious allegations.
Naidu cited the death of Pastor Praveen, claiming the opposition tried to portray it as murder, but CCTV evidence proved otherwise.
The CM said that leaders who build institutions respect the rule of law, while YSRC leaders allegedly ignore it.
