TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday, 23 April, claimed his brands are IT and jobs while that of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy are “ganja and drugs”.

Naidu, the leader of the opposition in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, made the remarks during a public meeting at Amudalavalasa in Srikakulam district as part of his Prajagalam election campaign tour.

“Ganja (marijuana) and drugs are the brands of the chief minister while my brands are Information Technology (IT), DSC (teacher recruitment) and the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission,” the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief said.

Naidu also said people of the state are ready to suppress the “arrogance” of Reddy and claimed that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) chief is corrupt and does not know administration.
