Addressing a public meeting in Kandukur, Hindupur Assembly Constituency candidate Nandamuri Balakrishna criticized Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s governance, stating that Jagan’s ‘Okka chance’ (One chance) slogan had failed to win people’s confidence. Balakrishna highlighted what he termed as Jagan’s ‘tyrannical’ rule, mentioning the suppression of Amaravati farmers’ agitation, the failure to fulfill promises like prohibition, and the introduction of cheap liquor.
He contrasted this with the governance of his father, former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao, whom he described as a provider of food, shelter, and respectable living for the poor and middle classes. Balakrishna urged voters to reconsider their support for Jagan’s government and instead vote for TDP candidates for a better future.
