The YSRCP government became highly infamous for its controversial and blasphemous decisions which failed to sit well with any single section of society. The YSRCP government recently did another such thing, when it announced the planned new districts and their headquarters. This caused a great stir in the people of the state, with most of them either unhappy with the headquarters, or with the entire district itself.
Recently, there was unrest in the areas surrounding Bhimavaram, and now, there’s unrest over several other places in the state. In the case of the Annamayya district, there is a strong demand to make Rajampet the district headquarters, as it is the birthplace of Annamayya. They feel that Rayachoti, which suffers from severe water scarcity, cannot be the headquarters. Those opposing Rayachoti as district headquarters have put up posters that read “bye-bye YSRCP” as a mark of protest, which can be seen in Pullampet, Udumvaripalle and others. The locals have also slammed MP Mithun Reddy, ZP chief Akepati Amarnath Reddy, MLAs Meda Mallikarjun Reddy and K Srinivasulu for not taking part in the protests. The TDP and Jana Sena leaders burnt the YSRCP leaders’ effigies and took out a candle rally to show their support to the locals.
Similar protests are being organized in the case of Dhone as well, with the leaders of various political parties demanding that Dhone be kept in the Kurnool district and not in the Nandyal district. Additionally, the leaders of the Adoni region are demanding that Adoni be made into a separate district. In Hindupur, the agitation is over the headquarters, with the locals demanding that the district headquarters town be set up in Hindupur and not in Puttaparthi. On the whole, though, Jagan’s government seems to be making mistakes on mistakes, putting itself in unnecessary troubles which could sabotage its political future in the state.
