YSRCP Criticizes Andhra Pradesh Government Over MSME Closures and Social Media Restrictions
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders have criticized the Andhra Pradesh government led by N Chandrababu Naidu for economic and administrative issues. YSRCP's PV Midhun Reddy cited parliamentary data showing the closure of 4,520 MSMEs and lower-than-expected investment inflows. Meanwhile, YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy and spokesperson Putta Siva Shankar accused the state government of suppressing social media accounts exposing alleged irregularities in the DSC-2025 teacher recruitment process, including claims of bypassing exam requirements and reservation policies. The government has been accused of using cybercrime measures to block critical content, which YSRCP denies will deter their efforts to expose the issues.
