VISAKHAPATNAM: Senior YSRCP leader Gudivada Amarnath on Tuesday alleged that Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu used a global platform for self-promotion and to level baseless charges against the opposition.Amarnath’s remarks came amid Naidu’s participation in the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, where CM addressed members of the Telugu diaspora and global investors.“Naidu misused a global platform for self-promotion and for making baseless allegations against the opposition YSRCP, while the situation in the state tells a different story,” Amarnath claimed while addressing a press conference.The former minister accused Naidu and his team of turning “the overseas tour into an exercise in political marketing”, ignoring the ground realities faced by people in Andhra.He alleged that several sections of society were in distress, claiming that farmers were not receiving the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and students were burdened by pending fee reimbursement dues.Amarnath further alleged that the NDA coalition government had failed to fulfil its election promises to youth, women, farmers and students, and accused it of repeatedly “misleading the public through propaganda.” He also accused the TDP-led NDA government of indulging in “credit chori” over the Bhogapuram airport project, claiming that statutory clearances and preliminary groundwork had been secured during the YSRCP government’s tenure between 2019 and 2024.The Bhogapuram project is a proposed aviation hub near Visakhapatnam, aimed at boosting regional connectivity, handling passenger and cargo traffic, and supporting economic growth in north Andhra.A validation flight was conducted on January 4 to assess runway readiness, navigational systems, and overall operational safety ahead of commercial operations.Amarnath said the TDP “had a history of making false claims” and asserted that people were aware of the facts and would not be misled again.There was no immediate response from the ruling TDP.
