Gone are the golden days when Andhra politicians competed with each other on the strength of their welfare and development projects. The new trend is where to implicate which party leaders and how to send them to jail, for how long and which jail. Lot of corruption charges came up against Telangana top leaders like KCR but none of them became too serious. But, it is different with Andhra leaders. A handful of them already served time in central jails.

Now, AP politics is revolving around cases, courts and jails. CM Jaganmohan Reddy’s Rs 43,000-cr CBI illegal assets cases are changing the direction of political debate as a whole. What will happen to YCP Regime if Jagan Reddy’s bail is cancelled as per the BJP’s latest tough stand against massive corruption cases? Amid this, Chandrababu Naidu started badly commenting that AP has the misfortune of having such a CM who doesn’t know when he goes to jail. YCP leaders are bringing up 14-year-old ACB cases and threatening to send Naidu to jail. Half the time of YCP Ministers and MLAs is being wasted to defend their party against opposition criticism and attacks on Jagan Reddy future. Development politics totally disappeared. Greater perils are threatening to cripple entire AP.
