YSRCP spokesperson Naga Malleswari criticised the TDP Mahanadu, describing it as a 'desperate political drama' intended to divert public attention from the alleged 'Mega District Selection Committee (DSC) scam' and growing dissatisfaction with the coalition government.
According to the YSRCP State Office, Malleswari claimed that after two years in office, the Chandrababu Naidu government had no development, welfare achievements, or governance successes to present, and thus used the Mahanadu event as a platform for abuse, political diversion, and character assassination against Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and the YSRCP.
Speaking to the media at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, Malleswari said the current Mahanadu was entirely different from those held during NTR’s era, comparing the difference to being “between heaven and hell.” She further alleged that “even the TDP cadre stayed away from the so-called virtual Mahanadu meetings, forcing the party to rely on recording dances and pressure tactics to bring DWCRA women to the event.”
She added that the government had failed to implement key promises such as Aadabidda Nidhi, free bus travel, free gas cylinders, and welfare guarantees for women, while making hollow speeches under the banner of ‘Stree Shakti.’
Malleswari also questioned TDP leader Lokesh regarding the DSC issue, asking how the individual who allegedly uploaded the DSC question paper had secured a top rank, asking, “Is this Mega DSC or Daga DSC?”
She accused the TDP leadership of resorting to cheap political attacks involving family members and emotional narratives to conceal governance failures, unemployment, broken promises, and scams, asserting that despite propaganda, the public could clearly see the collapse of governance under Chandrababu Naidu’s administration.
On Monday, YSRCP president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu concerning the mega DSC recruitment process, alleging large-scale irregularities including paper leaks, manipulation of merit lists, and a lack of transparency in candidate selection.
In a post on X, Reddy stated, “N.Chandrababu Naidu garu, was this really a ‘Mega DSC’? Or was it a ‘fraudulent DSC’ designed to cheat lakhs of job aspirants? Where is the transparency at all? Paper leaks… data deletions… missing merit lists… What is your answer to all this? You deliberately cancelled the DSC notification issued during our government, delayed the recruitment process for your political mileage, issued a fresh notification purely for publicity, and ultimately betrayed unemployed youth through paper leaks, irregularities, scams, and manipulation in the examinations. Is this not a betrayal of lakhs of aspirants?”
He questioned the integrity of the recruitment drive and accused the state government of betraying unemployed youth, demanding answers about alleged irregularities and calling for a Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry into the process.
