Amit Shah accuses Jagan of fostering corruption, land and liquor mafia in Andhra Pradesh

Launching a scathing attack on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has allied with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Jana Sena Party (JSP) in the State to fight the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) which “fostered corruption, crime, land mafia, and religious conversion.”

“The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is fighting to reinstate the power of Lord Balaji in Andhra Pradesh,” he said while addressing a public meeting during his election campaign along with TDP national President N. Chandrababu Naidu at Dharmavaram in Sri Sathya Sai district on May 4 (Sunday).

Alleging that the Telugu language was in danger during the YSRCP tenure, Mr. Shah said, “The Telugu language will never lose its cultural identity and importance as long as the BJP exists,” he said.
