Naidu misleading people with help of fake economists, alleges Jagan

Coming down heavily on his arch-rival N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the TDP chief has been unleashing ‘fake economists and constitutional experts’ to mislead the people through debates using media houses favourable to him with the aim of creating a false narrative in the State.

Addressing a public meeting here on Friday, the Chief Minister said that some suspended chartered accountants were masquerading as economists and constitutional experts at the behest of Mr. Naidu and his ‘foster son’ Pawan Kalyan, and are participating in debates to spread false messages about the welfare programmes instituted by the YSRCP government.

“Retired bureaucrats supported by Mr. Naidu are claiming on TV channels that spending money on welfare schemes is a sheer waste. Their motive is to malign the image of the government and mislead the people,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged.
