'Colombian drug lord': Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu compares Jagan Mohan Reddy to Pablo Escobar

Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandrababu Naidu likened Jagan Mohan Reddy to the deceased Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar on July 25. In the assembly, Naidu released a white paper in which he asserted that Andhra Pradesh had turned into the "Ganja capital" during Reddy's tenure.

 As reported by ANI, he said, “Pablo Escobar was a Colombian drug lord, he was a narco-terrorist. He turned politician and then started his cartel to sell drugs. He earned 30 billion Dollars at that time. 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 the Ambanis have money. He wanted to become richer than them. Few have needs, few have greed and few have mania and these maniacs do these kinds of things."

YSRCP President Jagan Mohan Reddy criticised the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) administration on Wednesday, alleging that Andhra Pradesh had descended into lawlessness. He said, "We stand before this country in Delhi and we question whether democracy is prevalent or not in Andhra Pradesh, where the word democracy means equitable justice and today in the state. Equitable justice is denied and democracy stands limping."
