Jagan's Amaravati Blunder: Will His Capital Stance Cost YSRCP Again?

• YSRCP faced a decisive defeat in the 2024 AP assembly elections, largely attributed to the Amaravati capital issue.
• Former CM Jagan continues to criticize Amaravati, calling it geographically unsuitable, financially unfeasible, and a "waste" for a capital.
• Jagan's January 8 statements alleged constructions in the riverbed and questioned the second phase of land pooling without completing the first.
• Minister Ponguru Narayana condemned Jagan's claims as "malicious propaganda," defending Amaravati's location and future.
• Analysts warn Jagan's unwavering opposition to Amaravati could further alienate voters and hinder YSRCP's comeback.

Why It Matters: Jagan's continued opposition to Amaravati risks alienating voters further, hindering YSRCP's political future.
