Chandrababu Naidu compares Jagan Mohan to Pablo Escobar

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said the government would review all the criminal cases registered during the YSR Congress regime as part of its vindictive politics, and punish the police officers who foisted false cases on thousands of persons.  He asserted that the lawlessness which prevailed in 2019-24 was due to the police-criminal-nexus that was exacerbated by the connivance of some YSRCP leaders who were out to settle political scores.

The situation was one of its kind where a leader with a criminal record (Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy) helmed the State of affairs as the Chief Minister, Mr. Naidu said, while comparing him to the Columbian politician and drug lord Pablo Escobar who unsettled the country’s democratic government and whose illegal drug trade spread across continents.

“Going by the sheer number of murders, physical attacks and offences against women and girls that took place in 2019-24, the rampant ganja and drug businesses, politically-motivated criminal cases booked against those who questioned the YSRCP Government’s excesses (including Mr. Naidu  himself, his son Lokesh and Jana Sena Party president K. Pawan Kalyan) during that period, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy is not fit to be in politics”, Mr. Naidu said, releasing a white paper on ‘law & order that prevailed in the State between 2019 and 2024’ in the Legislative Assembly on July 25.
