Amravati (Andhra Pradesh) [India], July 25 (ANI): Launching a scathing attack on former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday compared YSRCP chief to slain Columbian narco-terrorist, Pablo Escobar.
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu released a white paper in the assembly and claimed that Andhra Pradesh had become the “Ganja capital” of the country under Reddy’s rule.
He stated, “Pablo Escobar is a Colombian drug lord, he is a Narco terrorist. He turned politician and then started his cartel to sell drugs. He earned 30 Billion Dollars at that time, now it’s 90 Billion Dollars’ worth. He was arrested in 1976 and in 1980 he became the number one richest drug lord in the world.”
“One can become richer by selling drugs as well. What was the aim of former Chief Minister (YS Jagan)?”
He further said, “Tata, Reliance, and Ambani have money and he aspired to become richer than them. Few have needs, few have greed and few have mania and these maniacs do these kinds of things.”
The TDP fought the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections as well as the Lok Sabha polls in partnership with the BJP and the Jana Sena Party.
Chief Minister Naidu had led the TDP-BJP-Jana Sena National Democratic Alliance to a landslide victory in the Assembly as well as parliamentary elections. The TDP holds the majority in Andhra Pradesh’s 175-member assembly with 135 MLAs, while its allies, the Janasena Party, have 21 and BJP has eight. The opposition YSR Congress Party was confined to 11. (ANI)
