Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday compared his predecessor Jagan Mohan Reddy with Pablo Escobar, who was a drug lord and politician.
Addressing the state assembly, Naidu, in a scathing attack on Jagan Reddy, said, “Pablo Escobar is a Colombian drug lord, he is a Narco terrorist. He turned politician and then started his cartel to sell drugs. He earned 30 Billion Dollars at that time, now it’s 90 Billion Dollars worth.”

Comparing him to the former Andhra Chief Minister, Naidu added, “He was arrested in 1976 and in 1980 he became the number one richest drug lord in the world. One can become richer by selling drugs as well. What was the aim of the former Chief Minister (YS Jagan)? Tata, Reliance, and Ambani have money and he aspires to become richer than them. Few have needs, few have greed and few have mania and these maniacs do these kinds of things.”
Recalling the law and order situation in Andhra Pradesh under Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government, Naidu remembered the murder of YSRCP MLC Ananta Satya Udaya Bhaskar’s driver in 2022.
He quoted it as an example of the law and order situation during the former YSRCP government. He said that the driver was killed and “door delivered” to his house.
Notably, Ananta Bhaskar was arrested for allegedly killing his former driver in May 2023. The police had said that Ananta Bhaskar had murdered Bhaskar but later pushed him out of the car to make it seem like he died due to an accident.
