Chandrababu Naidu Is A Backstabber: Andhra CM Jagan

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday called Telugu Desam Party president and his rival N Chandrababu Naidu a 'backstabber'.

At an event, the Andhra CM lashed out at Naidu, citing three instances to label him as a 'backstabber'. "Every time Naidu assumed the role of Chief Minister, it was through backstabbing and deceiving, not on account of virtuous deeds," Reddy said.

He then stated, "The first instance was backstabbing his father-in-law NTR; the second time, it was the Kargil war; and the third time (in 2014), he secured the position through false promises like farm loan waiver, DWCRA loan waiver, and jobs for every household."

This is not the first time where Jagan has called Naidu a backstabber.

A few months ago, Speaking at a public gathering in Nagari, the Chief Minister condemned Naidu for adorning NTR's portrait and joining the revelation of a commemorative 100-coin featuring the late leader in Delhi. The Chief Minister characterized Naidu's actions as a blatant effort to exploit public sentiment for political gain, deeming it "preposterous" that Naidu would pay tribute to a leader he allegedly backstabbed.

Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh High Court, in the last week of October, granted temporary bail for a period of four weeks to TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu in the AP Skill Development case.

Granting the interim bail on health grounds, the bench directed the former CM to appear before the Superintendent of the central prison in Rajamahendravaram on or before November 28.
