Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting, Youth Affairs and Sports Anurag Singh Thakur has launched a broadside against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for “taking the State backward through his actions.”
Calling the YSRCP a “copy of the Congress party,” the Union Minister said, “The Britishers had looted the country and encouraged religious conversions. Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy seems to be doing the same.”
Participating as chief guest in a meeting organised by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) on the occasion of completion of its ‘Yuva Sangharshana Yatra’ here on Sunday, Mr. Thakur said both Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his predecessor N. Chandrababu Naidu hailed from Rayalaseema, but none of them did anything significant to the State even as it struggled to overcome the devastating impact of bifurcation.
