Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has launched a blistering attack on his predecessor Jagan Mohan Reddy, comparing him to Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Speaking in the state assembly on Thursday, Naidu alleged that Andhra Pradesh had become the "Ganja capital" of the country during Jagan Reddy’s rule. Ganja was available in every village of the state, he said.
"Pablo Escobar is a Colombian drug lord, he is a Narco terrorist. He turned politician and then started his cartel to sell drugs. He earned 30 Billion Dollars at that time, now it’s 90 Billion Dollars worth. 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,” said Naidu.
“What was the aim of former Chief Minister (Jagan Reddy)? Tata, Reliance, Ambani have money and he aspired to become richer than them. Few have needs, few have greed and few have mania and these maniacs do these kinds of things," he was further quoted as saying by ANI.
