YSR Congress Questions Chandrababu Naidus Vision 2050, Accuses Him of Distracting from Public Issues

Srikakulam, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : The YSR Congress Party has ridiculed Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s ambitious ‘Vision 2050’ plan, claiming it ignores the pressing realities faced by citizens. The party argues that Naidu’s focus on long-term goals is a diversion from the immediate issues affecting the public.

Former Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao spoke to the media on Sunday, highlighting the stark contrast between soaring prices of essential goods and Naidu’s futuristic vision. “It is absurd for the Chief Minister to talk about ‘Vision 2050’ while people are struggling with rising costs,” he remarked.

Prasada Rao emphasized that such grand visions are merely attempts to mislead the public and distract them from their current hardships. He pointed out that the purchasing power of the average citizen has significantly diminished, making Naidu’s promises seem deceptive.

He noted that prices for essentials and fuel have skyrocketed compared to 2024, rendering Naidu’s vision meaningless. The recent hikes in fuel and electricity prices have placed a heavy burden on the common man, he said.

Instead of fulfilling promises made during the election campaign, Naidu has been hosting business summits and selling valuable land at rock-bottom prices, Prasada Rao criticized. He urged voters to reject such leaders in the upcoming elections.

Meanwhile, Kakani Poojitha, the executive chairperson of the YSR Congress women’s wing, has raised questions about Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and others regarding inappropriate comments made against former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s family.

Poojitha demanded to know why these leaders have not condemned such remarks, suggesting that silence on the issue equates to endorsement. Along with other female leaders, she lodged a complaint with the police in Vedayapalem, Nellore.

She stated that they provided the police with evidence identifying those involved in the inappropriate discussions and comments. Poojitha called for a thorough investigation and strict legal action against all responsible parties.

While she welcomed political criticism, she asserted that personal attacks on women and their families, especially those unrelated to public life, are unacceptable. Cyberbullying, she noted, can cause severe mental distress to women, youth, and children.
