The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has accused the YSR Congress Party (YCP) of deliberately attempting to obstruct the reconstruction and development of Andhra Pradesh. According to TDP leaders, almost every major initiative taken by the present government to attract investments and generate employment is being targeted through legal challenges.
They have cited a recent Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed against the allocation of land to Raheja Corp for the development of an IT park in Visakhapatnam. The petition was reportedly filed by the Society for Protection of Constitution, with senior advocate Ponnavolu Sudhakar Reddy arguing the case. TDP leaders alleged that such petitions are politically motivated and intended solely to stall development-oriented projects.
Reacting strongly to the issue, IT Minister Nara Lokesh questioned YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s intentions towards the youth of Andhra Pradesh. He asked why there was consistent opposition to projects that promise large-scale employment and economic growth. Lokesh stated that the proposed IT projects alone have the potential to generate over one lakh jobs for the state’s youth.
He further alleged that the YCP has repeatedly approached courts against major IT investments, including projects by TCS, Cognizant, Satva, and now the Raheja IT Park. According to Lokesh, these legal interventions are not driven by genuine public interest but are aimed at discouraging investors from choosing Andhra Pradesh.
TDP leaders also claimed that this pattern of opposition is not new. They recalled that during the previous regime, YCP had filed cases against recruitment initiatives such as DSC notifications and police constable appointments. Now, they argue, the party has escalated its approach by challenging land allotments meant for IT companies that could provide livelihoods to lakhs of people.
The ruling NDA alliance believes that while the YCP failed to bring meaningful development during its tenure, it is now attempting to halt the state’s progress by creating hurdles for fresh investments and employment-generating projects.
