YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) on 15 November 2026 launched a sharp attack on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, ridiculing his Vision 2050 roadmap as empty rhetoric that sidesteps the immediate hardships facing ordinary citizens — from soaring commodity prices to higher fuel and power charges.

YSRCP's Core Charge Against Naidu

Speaking to reporters in Srikakulam, former minister Dharmana Prasad Rao said Naidu's preoccupation with a 25-year vision while ignoring present-day price pressures was 'highly ridiculous.' 'Such long-term visions are being spread only to cheat the people and divert their attention,' Prasad said.

He argued that the purchasing power of the common man had 'drastically come down,' with prices of essential commodities, fuel, and other necessities rising compared to 2024 levels. Rising fuel charges and increased power tariffs were, in his words, 'breaking the back of common people.'

Unmet Promises and Business Summits

Prasad also alleged that Naidu had not honoured poll promises made before the last election, instead focusing on business summits and, reportedly, allocating prime government land at below-market rates. 'People with such attitude should be rejected at the hustings,' he said, signalling YSRCP's intent to make governance failures a central campaign plank.

This comes amid a wider pattern in Andhra Pradesh's political discourse, where the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led alliance and YSRCP have clashed repeatedly over the pace of post-election delivery since the government change in 2024.

Women's Wing Files Complaint Over X Spaces Controversy

In a separate but related development, YSRCP state women's wing working president Kakani Poojitha demanded that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, Nara Lokesh, and Home Minister Anitha explain their silence over obscene comments made on X Spaces targeting former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy's family. She questioned whether the leadership's refusal to publicly condemn the remarks amounted to tacit encouragement.

Poojitha, along with other women leaders, lodged a formal complaint with police at Vedayapalem in Nellore, stating that complete evidence had been provided identifying the organisers, participants, and the content of their comments. She demanded a thorough investigation and strict legal action against all those responsible.

Cyberbullying and Women's Dignity

'Political criticism is welcome, including criticism of women active in politics, but nobody has the right to personally abuse women and family members unconnected with public life,' Poojitha said. She noted that cyberbullying inflicts severe psychological distress on women, young people, and children, and warned that allowing social media to become a platform for character assassination undermines women's dignity and sets a damaging example for future generations.

She held the government and police accountable for preventing such harassment, putting pressure on the Naidu administration to act decisively. With the YSRCP lodging a formal police complaint, the matter is now expected to move to formal investigation, keeping the controversy alive in the political spotlight.
