Jagan Slams Andhra Pradesh Government Over Cyclone Response, Formation Day Neglect
Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh – November 2, 2025 – YSRCP President Jagan Mohan Reddy has launched a scathing attack on the Chandrababu Naidu-led state government, criticizing its handling of the recent cyclone and its decision not to officially observe Andhra Pradesh Formation Day.
In a series of posts on social media platform X on Saturday, Reddy accused the government of being “heartless and incompetent” in its response to the cyclone that caused significant damage to farmers’ crops. He specifically pointed to the alleged failure of the government to implement a free crop insurance scheme, leaving approximately 500,000 farmers without compensation for their losses. Reddy claimed that the dismantling of Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBKs) and the discontinuation of e-cropping have exacerbated the situation, especially after that there has been 16 natural disasters in 16 months.
Reddy also strongly condemned the government’s decision not to officially celebrate Andhra Pradesh Formation Day on November 1st, calling it a “historical mistake.” He stated that the failure to commemorate the day dishonors the sacrifices made by Potti Sreeramulu and disrespects the self-respect of Telugu people. He added that state formation day should be celebrated politically neutral.
Furthermore, the YSRCP leader criticized the government for allegedly neglecting the safety and security of pilgrims visiting temples, citing incidents that occurred in Tirumala, Simhachalam, and Kasibugga. He accused the government of failing to support the victims.
