YSRCP Demands Transparency Over Chief Minister Naidu’s Foreign Trip

Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh – January 2, 2026 – The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) is calling for greater transparency from the Andhra Pradesh government regarding Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s recent foreign trip. The party alleges that the government has been secretive about the details of the tour, including its purpose and destination.

At a press conference held at the YSRCP office in Tadepalli on Wednesday, SC Cell president T.J.R. Sudhakar Babu stated that even the General Administration Department (GAD) lacked information about the Chief Minister’s trip, raising serious concerns. “The government owes an explanation on where is the Chief Minister, why has he gone, and whether it is an official or personal visit,” Mr. Babu told reporters. He highlighted what he called conflicting media reports and the government’s apparent lack of disclosure.

The YSRCP also criticized the “frequent use of special aircraft and helicopters” by Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh, questioning the source of funding for what they described as luxury travel.

Mr. Sudhakar Babu drew a contrast between the perceived media scrutiny of former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s private trip to London for his daughter’s graduation and the current silence surrounding Naidu’s trip. “Now, when the Chief Minister keeps his travel details secret, the media remains silent,” he said. The YSRCP maintains that Reddy’s London trip was funded privately. The government has yet to respond to the YSRCP’s allegations.
