AP is engulfed by Chandra Grahanam – YS Jagan
AP is engulfed by Chandra Grahanam – YS Jagan

YS Jagan, who is busy making false promises, once again spit venom on CM Chandrababu Naidu. Addressing a public gathering in Sarvepalli constituency, Podalakur (Nellore district), YS Jagan said that AP has been engulfed by Chandra Grahanam for the past four years.
The YSRCP Supremo further went on to make wild allegations on Babu. ‘Chandrababu made Andhra Pradesh into a debt-ridden state and corrupted state. In fact, Chandrababu is so corrupted that, he lives on an illegal premise. Instead of being present at the Republic Day celebrations in the state in the CM Honor, Babu was nowhere to be seen. His wife had to hoist the flag.
While Chandrababu is busy with his foreign tours, his brother-in-law Balakrishna is busy sitting in the CM’s seat. Such is the pathetic situation in the state politics. In addition to this, Tantric Poojas are being performed in temples, instead of holy and sacred rituals, said Jagan.
YS Jagan is leaving no stone unturned to come into power this time. The 2019 AP Assembly elections will not be only a litmus test to YS Jagan, but also puts the existence of YSRCP at stake. Only time will tell, whether YS Jagan will flourish or vanish!
