MLA Vasantha Krishna Prasad's Comments Stir Controversy in NTR District

Key Highlights of His Comments:

1. Criticism of Davos Visit: Vasantha accused Jagan of wasting time during his Davos trip, alleging that he indulged in trivial activities such as playing PUBG and searching for snacks. He contrasted this with the leadership of former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, whom he praised for his dedication to the state's development.

2. YSRCP's Internal Issues: Referring to the recent exit of Vijay Sai Reddy from active politics, he remarked, "If a second-in-command like Vijay Sai Reddy quits the party, it reflects the deteriorating conditions within YSRCP." He predicted more leaders would leave the party in the coming months, likening YSRCP to a "sinking ship."

3. Industry Concerns: Vasantha accused Jagan of discouraging industries from investing in Krishna and Guntur districts, stating that his approach has created fear among business entities.

4. TDP and Coalition Governance: He emphasized that only a coalition government led by capable leaders like Chandrababu Naidu could ensure the state's welfare and development.

5. Social Media Speculations: Addressing rumors about Nara Lokesh being made Deputy CM, Vasantha clarified that no such decision has been announced, and any such declarations would come directly from the party's leadership.

The comments have sparked a political uproar, with YSRCP leaders condemning Vasantha’s statements as baseless and politically motivated.
