Jagan slams Naidu for participating in event on NTR
On a day President Draupadi Murmu released a commemorative coin on noted Telugu actor and politician NT Rama Rao on his centenary year which was well attended by his family
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, on Wednesday, compared himself with NT Rama Rao and MG Ramachandran, who founded their own political parties and came to power, while calling arch rival N Chandrababu Naidu a “backstabber” and “Ravana” for grabbing power by deceit.
Jagan Mohan Reddy was addressing a gathering at Narsannapet in Srikaulam after granting land ownership rights to people under a state government scheme. Speaking on the occasion, he said, “If someone establishes his own party and then comes to power on his own, he is called an MGR, or an NTR or a Jagan. If you grab power and a political party and the chief ministership, such a person is known as Chandrababu.”
Referring to Ramayana Reddy, the chief minister said the one who was devoted to his wife and fights for her is called Rama while the one who covets another person’s wife and kidnaps he is known as Ravana.

He also dubbed Pawan Kalyan and the three media houses allegedly friendly towards TDP as the evil quartet.
“In a democracy, people only believe those who keep their promises and Chandrababu has seldom kept his. One should think if the betrayers should be given another chance to enter the Assembly,” said the chief minister.
This is the second time that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has been so brutally critical of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu after he said he will quit contesting elections if he is not voted to power in the Assembly elections slated for 2024.
