Andhra Pradesh: Jagan’s retrogressive policies dented State’s brand image, alleges Naidu

TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday accused Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of taking the State backwards by 30 years with his “retrogressive policies.”

In a statement, the Opposition leader said that in just three years Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had “destroyed all systems and caused damage to the brand image of Andhra Pradesh beyond repair.”

Citing the example of the tenders called by the government reportedly with a pre-condition that “payment of bills will be made based on the availability of plough back funds, and in the event of a delay in payment, the contracting agency will not have the right to challenge in the court of law, and that only such contractors who can wait till realisation of bills without approaching the courts should bid for the works,” Mr. Naidu said it only reflected the “hopeless situation” the State had landed into.
