The intended visit of Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, to the Nellore district has hit a rough patch amid accusations of politicians stalling helipad clearance. This news has overshadowed the social initiatives of the leader, intended to benefit the citizens of Nellore.
On Monday, Mr. Reddy had visited the Kadapa district to lay the foundation stone for setting up a new state university. Normally, such visits are routine for political leaders. But this one had an unusual twist, with local politicians protesting against what they termed the "insensitive approach" of the state government.
The opposition parties, namely the TDP and the BJP, have accused the YSRCP, Mr. Reddy's party, of neglecting the region and failing to provide basic infrastructure for the chief minister's visit. They have demanded that the helipad be repaired or rebuilt in time for the chief minister's visit.
When contacted, a senior official in the chief minister's office said that they were aware of the issue and looking into it, but declined to make any further statement.
The postponed visit has also drawn attention to the deteriorating relationship between the state government and opposition parties, indicating a potentially uncomfortable future for Andhra Pradesh politics.
Only time will tell if the helipad issue can be resolved and if Mr. Reddy will be able to visit Nellore as planned. Until then, the citizens of Nellore and the state of Andhra Pradesh remain in political limbo.
