In a politically charged statement, Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) Lok Sabha member, Gorantla Madhav, made a controversial prediction regarding former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader, N. Chandrababu Naidu. This statement was made while addressing a gathering in Singanamala constituency as part of the YSRCP’s Samajika Sadhikara Yatra.
Madhav, representing Hindupur in the Lok Sabha, remarked that Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy would assume the Chief Minister’s role again in 2024, while suggesting that Chandrababu Naidu would meet an unfortunate fate. The former Chief Minister is currently in judicial custody in connection with the Skill Development Corporation case.
During his speech, Madhav didn’t hold back in his criticism of Chandrababu Naidu, Nara Lokesh (TDP national general secretary and Naidu’s son), and Jana Sena Party leader Pawan Kalyan. He highlighted the outcomes of their respective political campaigns, stating that Chandrababu Naidu’s bus yatra led to his imprisonment, Lokesh’s padyatra transformed into a Delhi yatra, and Pawan Kalyan’s Varahi Yatra ended with him going in a different direction. Madhav firmly asserted, “No matter how many yatras they undertake, they can’t stop the victory march of Jagan Mohan Reddy.”
In response to Madhav’s remarks, Nara Lokesh vehemently expressed his concerns, describing the statement as a veiled death threat directed at Chandrababu Naidu. Lokesh criticized the YSRCP MP’s comments and alluded to the circumstances surrounding Naidu’s arrest, particularly referring to a letter Naidu had written to the Vijayawada Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) court, claiming threats to his life while in the Rajahmundry Central Prison. Naidu has been in judicial custody since his arrest on September 9 in connection with an alleged skill development scam.
The situation remains contentious, with political tensions running high in Andhra Pradesh. The people of the state continue to closely monitor developments, raising questions about the safety and security of their political leader.
