Last week's Tirupati stampede, which resulted in deaths of six devotees, has revived criticism of decision to extend Vaikunta Dwara Darshanam at Lord Venkateshwara temple to 10 days.
Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP holds N Chandrababu Naidu's govt responsible for 'administrative failure, loss of lives in Tirupati stampede', calls it a 'black day in TTD history'.
YSRCP slams coalition govt 'for re-inaugurating projects initiated during Jagan’s tenure'. Chandrababu, who was by PM's side during roadshow, says NDA will win in Delhi polls.
Around 300 IAS, IPS & Indian Forest Service officers had paid Rs 25 lakh each for a 500-sq.yd plot in Amaravati during Naidu's previous term, before Jagan scrapped the capital project.
Affinity with ex-CM Jagan Reddy or YSRCP leaders is seen as reason. Suspension of 4 & rest being kept waiting for postings has put extra work, law-and-order pressures on other officers.
Yerra Srilakshmi, state's 2nd-most senior IAS officer, is among those benched. They're being treated like 'pariahs' by colleagues which is 'more painful', one officer says.
2 BMW cars, seized during CM Naidu’s previous stint, were found to be ‘missing’, when the current govt took charge, prompting Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan to seek an inquiry in November.
Naidu-led Andhra Pradesh govt is yet to launch probe into allegations involving then CM Jagan levelled in Adani US indictment. Minister says TDP chief is ‘seriously contemplating’ matter.
US complaint alleges Adani met Andhra CM in 2021 & offered bribes to state officials to buy power from SECI. Naidu had criticised SECI deal in July white paper without mentioning Adani.
State Congress chief & Jagan’s sister YS Sharmila also took a dig at her brother, demanding he resign if he 'lacks boldness' to attend assembly & 'question NDA govt’s anti-people policies'.
