Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Polit Bureau member Yanamala Ramakrishnudu on Friday accused Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of creating a political crisis in the State by dissolving the entire Cabinet.
“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s corrupt deeds and immature policies have pushed the State into an unprecedented financial chaos. And now, he is creating a political mess in the State in the name of reorganisation of his Cabinet,” said the former Finance Minister in a statement.
The TDP leader wondered what good would the Cabinet revamp serve to the people who were already at the receiving end of inflation, power cuts, economic crisis, indiscriminate encroachment of natural resources, unmindful violence and atrocities and false cases being framed against innocent people. “Tactics such as Cabinet revamp is meant to divert people’s attention from the prevailing anti-incumbency factor,” said Mr. Ramakrishnudu.
The TDP leader said Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was using his Cabinet colleagues as scapegoats. “The Chief Minister owes an explanation to the people on the reasons for Cabinet reshuffle,” he demanded, wondering if it was because of the corruption and criminal charges being faced by some Ministers.
Mr. Ramakrishnudu said the YSRCP government was facing survival crisis. “The only option left for the Chief Minister is to apologise to the people of the State and step down from his post,” he said.
