In a surprising turn of events, former YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Nallapureddy has accused the party’s current president, Jagan Mohan Reddy, of making a “big blunder” that led to the party’s humiliating defeat in the Andhra Pradesh state assembly elections last year.
Nallapureddy, who was once a key member of the YSRCP, made the comments in a recent interview, marking the first time a senior party leader has openly criticized Jagan’s leadership and decisions. The statement comes nearly a year after the YSRCP’s loss in the state elections, which saw the party’s rival, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), emerge victorious.
According to Nallapureddy, the YSRCP’s defeat was not due to a lack of effort or grassroots support, but rather the result of a significant misstep made by Jagan Mohan Reddy. “Jagan made a big blunder that cost us the election,” Nallapureddy said, though he did not elaborate on the nature of the blunder.
The former YSRCP leader’s comments have sparked a flurry of speculation and debate within the party and among political analysts. Some have suggested that Nallapureddy’s statements could be a sign of growing discontent within the YSRCP, as the party struggles to come to terms with its electoral defeat and the perceived shortcomings of its leadership.
However, the YSRCP has not yet responded to Nallapureddy’s accusations, and Jagan Mohan Reddy himself has remained silent on the matter. It remains to be seen whether other party members will come forward to support or refute Nallapureddy’s claims, as the YSRCP seeks to regroup and prepare for the next round of elections.
The news of Nallapureddy’s criticism of Jagan’s leadership has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of Andhra Pradesh, raising questions about the internal dynamics of the YSRCP and the party’s ability to bounce back from its recent setback. As the political drama continues to unfold, the people of Andhra Pradesh will be closely watching to see how the YSRCP responds to these allegations and whether the party can regain the trust of the electorate.
