Sharmila’s Allegations Against Jagan on Property Mismanagement
Sharmila’s Bold Allegations Against Jagan on Property Mismanagement
YS Sharmila, Congress leader and sister of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, has made strong accusations against him. She said, “Aasthulu laakkovadam Jagan ki alavaate,” (Property Mismanagement) meaning “Jagan used to grabbing and stealing properties.” Sharmila’s criticism is both political and personal, reflecting her dissatisfaction with Jagan’s handling of public resources.
Political and Personal Grievances
Sharmila’s remarks seem to stem from a combination of personal and political issues. She has previously claimed that Jagan has illicitly taken control of her family’s assets. Her recent allegations focus on his alleged abuse of power, particularly regarding the management of state-owned properties.
Sale of Gangavaram Port
Sharmila’s major criticism is the sale of Gangavaram Port. She alleges that the port, which generates Rs 2000 crore in profits annually, was sold to the Adani Group for a mere Rs 640 crore in 2021. With an estimated market value of Rs 9000 crore, the transaction resulted in a massive financial loss for the state. Sharmila argues that this was a reckless and unfair sale of a vital state asset.
Property Mismanagement of Other Ports
Sharmila also highlighted the alleged mismanagement of Kakinada and Krishnapatnam Ports. She claims that these important state resources were not utilized effectively, leading to financial losses. Her allegations suggest that these ports were mishandled for political or personal gain.
Criticism of the NDA Government
Sharmila has directed some of her frustration toward the NDA government, accusing them of failing to take action against Jagan’s alleged financial mismanagement. She questions why the central government did not intervene during Jagan’s tenure as Chief Minister. Sharmila calls for stronger measures to hold those responsible accountable.
A Call for Accountability
Sharmila’s accusations are fueling ongoing political conflict in Andhra Pradesh. Her focus on the sale of ports and other financial irregularities points to her deep concern for public resources. She continues to demand transparency and justice, urging for accountability in managing state assets.
