Chandrababu Naidu recently drew a controversial comparison between Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy and notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. In a public address, Naidu accused Reddy of indulging in corrupt practices and alleged that his administration was synonymous with lawlessness and misuse of power. By likening Reddy to Escobar, Naidu aimed to underscore his accusations of severe mismanagement and unethical behavior, suggesting that Reddy’s regime, much like Escobar’s criminal empire, thrives on exploitation and corruption.

This comparison has sparked significant debate, with critics arguing that Naidu’s rhetoric is inflammatory and inappropriate, given the serious nature of such comparisons. Supporters of Naidu, however, see it as a stark representation of their dissatisfaction with Reddy’s governance and an effort to highlight what they perceive as systemic issues within the administration.
