YSRCP ‘creating controversies’, says Naidu; pulls up Ministers over poor public outreach

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu reportedly pulled up Ministers for “failing to effectively communicate” the coalition government’s achievements to the public, while accusing the opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) of attempting to “manufacture political controversies” over key government initiatives.

Speaking at the State Cabinet meeting after the agenda items were concluded on Thursday, Mr. Naidu is learnt to have said that the YSRCP was trying to link the State’s Mega DSC teacher recruitment drive with the ongoing protests in New Delhi, describing the move as part of the Opposition’s strategy to create unnecessary controversies. “Creating controversies is the nature of the axe party,” he said, referring to the YSRCP, and asked the Ministers to remain vigilant against such political narratives.
