In the past, people were dissatisfied with the YSRCP regime and granted unlimited power to the alliance. However, the alliance government is proving that while the rulers have changed, the administrative policies have not.
The latest actions of the government have sparked debate, with some arguing that the previous administration was better.
The growing criticism suggests that the coalition government is prioritizing revenge over governance.
Time is slipping away as the government focuses on targeting individuals listed in the Red Book, as per the coalition's manifesto.
Instead of fulfilling promises, the government is accused of successfully executing political vendettas and cracking down on opponents and certain officials.
Lokesh repeatedly claims that the Red Book has public support. Even during his foreign tours, Minister Nara Lokesh often speaks about when the next chapters of the Red Book will unfold.
However, when it comes to implementing the manifesto, beneficiaries complain that the government is delaying promises under the pretext of wealth creation. As a result, criticism is mounting that the manifesto has turned into a lost cause.
The YSRCP alleges that the recent arrest of former Gannavaram MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi and Actor Posani Murali Krishna is part of the Red Book strategy.
The court has remanded Vamsi to three days of police custody, with today marking the third day of interrogation. Pro-government media reports suggest that the police are struggling to extract the answers they seek from him.
Additionally, three more cases have been registered against Vamsi, and a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe his alleged misconduct.
However, Vamsi’s supporters argue that if he is already in jail, what difference do additional cases make?
They question whether the misuse of power for personal revenge is taking precedence over public concerns.
Similarly, civil society is raising a broader question- is this what the state of Andhra Pradesh need right now? to which is the answer is "certainly not".
