Tadepalli, March 18, 2025: Former Minister Sake Sailajanath fiercely criticized Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, calling his Vision-2047 a deceptive tactic to mask unfulfilled election promises and portray himself as a global visionary and accused him of using the "Swarnandhra" narrative to mislead people while failing to boost their purchasing power or create wealth.
Sailajanath pointed to Chandrababu’s history, noting that despite four terms as Chief Minister and three vision documents—Vision-2020, Vision-2029, and Vision-2047—tangible progress remains elusive. He questioned the TDP leader’s achievements, alleging past visions facilitated privatization of public assets. With "P4," Sailajanath claimed Chandrababu now plans to hand over both government and public properties, including roads with toll taxes, to private entities.
The former minister slammed Chandrababu for neglecting education and healthcare, citing user charges in hospitals and poor school infrastructure. He accused him of favouring corporate interests over MSMEs, earning the tag "World Bank employee" from leftists. Sailajanath noted that post-Vision-2020, 70% of families stayed below the poverty line, questioning the promised prosperity.
In agriculture, Chandrababu treated the sector as a burden, with two crore farmers abandoning it during his tenure, and failed to deliver irrigation projects. Sailajanath debunked Chandrababu’s IT claims in Hyderabad, crediting Rajiv Gandhi and Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy instead. He mocked Chandrababu’s assertion of influencing work-from-home trends as absurd.
Sailajanath questioned Chandrababu’s "political governance," citing defections and corruption admissions in Plain Speech. He dismissed Vision-2047’s economic goals—like a 17% growth rate—as baseless amid declining revenues and investments. Calling Chandrababu’s global leadership claim a "joke," he accused him of planning to privatize assets like RTC lands and ports built under Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, while neglecting promises like multilingual education.
