In a recent public address in Tirupati, Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy took aim at Chandrababu Naidu, highlighting Naidu's reluctance to mention the Janmabhoomi Committees that he had implemented during his time in power. Reddy questioned Naidu's commitment to these committees and challenged him to consider reinstating them, contrasting Naidu's stance with his own pledge to continue and improve the volunteer system initiated under Reddy's leadership.
The political rivalry between Reddy and Naidu comes to the forefront as the state of Andhra Pradesh gears up for simultaneous Assembly and Lok Sabha elections this May. With Reddy's YSRCP securing a significant victory in the 2019 elections, winning the majority of seats in the Assembly and a substantial portion of Lok Sabha seats, the upcoming elections are expected to be fiercely contested. The YSRCP's dominance in the previous elections has set the stage for a competitive electoral battle involving key players such as the TDP, BJP, and Congress-led INDIA bloc.
