After the Union Budget was announced by the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman yesterday, all the regional parties like TDP, TRS and even Janasena, have expressed their distress over it. All the parties have felt that the Centre has completely ignored Telugu states.
As TDP, TRS and Janasena are anyway against BJP, all such parties expressed their opinion in public and did not mind to go against the Centre. But Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is currently the only leader from the Telugu states, who is maintaining friendly relations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has maintained mum about it.
Even Jagan’s Sakshi media, tried to handle the issue on a lighter mode and only reported the issue, rather than making detailed analysis on it, like it always do.

Nara Lokesh, who identified it, has criticized Jagan for allegedly lending indirect support to PM Modi. Vijaysai Reddy, one of the active leaders of YSRCP expressed his distress over the budget, but Jagan maintaining an utter silence about it, is now creating several doubts among the political circles.
While BJP is finding ways to bring down Jagan and form the government by the next elections, it seems, the young CM is not in a mood to take any such risk to go against Modi, as such risks already costed heavily to Naidu who went against Modi, before the elections.
