Jagan Accuses Naidu of 'Fraud' Over BC Reservations, Cites Supreme Court

YSRCP president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, accusing him of committing a "fraud" on Backward Classes with false promises of reservations. Addressing the media, Jagan claimed that the Supreme Court had exposed Naidu's deceptive assurance, and further alleged that the TDP's 'Super Six' promises were another deception, and that schemes benefiting people under the previous YSRCP government had been cancelled.

Jagan's remarks come amid heightened political tensions in Andhra Pradesh, where the TDP-led NDA government has been under pressure to fulfill its pre-election commitments, including reservations for Backward Classes. The YSRCP chief cited the Supreme Court's recent observations on the matter, though specific details of the ruling were not immediately clear. He also referenced the 'Super Six' promises—a set of welfare guarantees made by the TDP during the 2024 elections—as evidence of what he called a pattern of deceit. The YSRCP has consistently accused the ruling coalition of backtracking on welfare schemes implemented during its tenure.

The accusation is likely to intensify the political battle in the state, with the TDP yet to respond officially. Analysts suggest that Jagan's focus on BC reservations could resonate with a key voter demographic ahead of future elections. The development also underscores the ongoing tussle over legacy welfare schemes, with both parties trading charges of deception. Incisor News will continue to monitor reactions from the TDP and any further legal or political developments.
