YSRCP Questions Naidu’s 3-Day Absence Amid Floods, Drought, Protests
· India · The Hindu, Indian Express
YSR Congress Party State general secretary Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi questioned Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s reported absence from public view for three days during floods in North Andhra, drought in Rayalaseema, and protests by unemployed youth and DSC aspirants. She demanded details of his tour programme and asked why his schedule was not made public, seeking an explanation of where he had gone and the purpose of his visit. Referring to his earlier foreign visits, she alleged inadequate disclosure of some trips and questioned whether central agencies were aware. She also accused Minister Nara Lokesh and parts of the media of applying different standards to Naidu and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Why it matters
The YSRCP’s demand for transparency puts pressure on the Andhra Pradesh government to account for the Chief Minister’s whereabouts during a period of multiple crises affecting farmers, flood-hit communities, and protesting youth. Public accountability during emergencies is critical for trust in governance.
