Andhra Pradesh will cast its votes for its 175-member assembly. In 2019, the YSR Congress, led by Jagan Mohan Reddy, won 151 seats and surged to power. These five problems, which include Polavaram and attacks on temples, might make the YSRCPs most difficult task more difficult.The leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), N Chandrababu Naidu, claimed that the administration led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had failed miserably, three years after the YSRCP stormed to power in Andhra Pradesh. In addition, Naidu, the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, asserted that anti-incumbency sentiment had peaked and that all segments of the public were prepared to reject the YSRCP in the 2024 Vidhan Sabha elections. A Jagan wave in 2019 won the YSRCP 151 Assembly seats and 22 of 25 Lok Sabha seats. In order to take on the YSRCP, Pawan Kalyans JanaSena Party (JSP) and Chandrababu Naidus Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have teamed up with the BJP.Here we present you with 7 issues that could pose problems for Jagan in this election!Polavaram Project The Polavaram project, initially estimated at Rs 21,000 crore with a 20-year timeline, now faces delays and cost overruns, totaling nearly Rs 50,000 crore. The TDP accuses Jagans administration of neglecting the project, vital for resolving irrigation and drinking water issues in Rayalaseema.Andhara waits for a big change Andhra Pradeshs quest for a new capital remains unfulfilled a decade after the states division. Hyderabad served as the joint capital until June 2024, leaving Andhra without its designated capital. The YSRCP faces accusations from Chandrababu Naidus TDP for hindering Amaravatis development.Governance AccountabilityAmidst allegations of corruption and cronyism, the governments commitment to transparency and accountability comes under scrutiny. The lack of decisive action against malfeasance and allegations of nepotism undermine public confidence and raise questions about ethical governance practices.Capital City ConundrumThe failure to expedite the development of Amaravati as Andhra Pradeshs capital has fueled discontent among citizens and opposition parties. Amidst allegations of favoritism and inadequate planning, the delay in establishing a functional capital city undermines the governments credibility and governance agenda.Jagan accused of attacking the temple Attacks on temples pose a significant challenge for Jagans YSRCP government, with over 200 temples reportedly targeted during the previous administration. Criticism mounts against the YSRCP for allegedly undermining investigations into these incidents, prompting opposition parties to question the states commitment to preserving Hindu sanctity.The land-titling act wasnt so fair!The AP Land Titling Act, introduced by the Jagan Mohan government, faces scrutiny over concerns of government overreach and land seizure. The TDP-JSP-BJP alliance denounces the Act as a land-grabbing tool, accusing Jagan of exploiting it to seize land under the guise of digitizing records.Unfulfilled jobs and promisesJob creation promises made by Jagans administration face skepticism, particularly regarding the pledge to provide 20 lakh jobs. Critics accuse Jagan of failing to fulfill commitments, such as signing the DSC, raising doubts about his credibility among voters. The issue of unemployment resonates strongly with voters, potentially impacting the YSRCPs electoral prospects.
