YSR’s most trusted camp follower and two-time MP Vundavalli Arun Kumar is one-of-a-kind politician. He minces no words both while praising and criticizing anyone. He has recently made sensational comments on YS Jagan and his rule. He said he did not like the way Jagan was ruling the state.

In a special interview given to a popular YouTube channel, Vundavalli said that He did not like the way Jagan was running the state. But, he admitted that Jagan’s image is still unsullied and that the people still root for him. He said that the freebies and other welfare schemes are getting him a good name. He added that these schemes would finally spell doom for the YSRCP. He said that while giving welfare pensions was a good move in times of Covid, efforts should be made to provide income-generation activities instead of giving doles.

He said that the way funds were being procured for implementing the schemes would prove detrimental to AP. He said loans should be secured to build infrastructure and income generation activities, but not for profligate spending. He said the focus should be on generating income. Otherwise, indiscriminate borrowings will bring ruin.

Vundavalli is considered most loyal to YSR. He was part of YSR’s inner core providing him with valuable inputs. But, his relations with YS Jagan have at best been frosty. He has not joined the YSRCP and has often criticized its policies. He is not with any political party at present.

Former Congress MP and YSR loyalist Vundavalli Arun Kumar has blamed both Modi-Shah and Jagan Reddy on the issue of Polavaram. He says the Central Government is deliberately neglecting AP farmers’ interests. At the same time, the AP CM is telling all lies to the people of the State. It is high time Jagan Reddy comes out with a white paper on the Polavaram dam height and the overall storage capacity of the reservoir.

Arun Kumar is expressing concern that the AP CM’s complacence and compromise would cause irreparable harm to Andhra Pradesh. The Chief Minister should fight with the Centre for making sure that Polavaram will be completed in its original design as per the already approved detailed project report (DPR).

There have been widesperad fears that Jagan Reddy has already agreed for reducing the dam height for reducing the estimated cost of the project. If the height is reduced from 150 ft to 135 ft, then the project storage capacity would come down from 194 TMC to just 120 TMC.

Arun Kumar tells CM Jagan that R&R package should be paid to more than 1 lakh families as per the original plan. The CM should fight for this and he should not compromise on this.

Former Rajahmundry MP Vundavalli Arun Kumar is known to be a loyalist of the YSR family. His political existence was credited to YSR. He does not usually target or attack CM Jaganmohan Reddy because of his old attachment. Now, after Jagan’s letter to Chief Justice of India, Vundavalli launched a sudden and direct attack on the AP CM. He asked Jagan Reddy what was wrong for the daughters of a judge to buy plots in Amaravati Capital City area.

Vundavalli showed his utter disappointment at the AP CM’s remarks. He recalled how a person name Swamy wrote a book in 2005 that the courts were filled with Reddys and their orders were becoming biased. Even former Chief Minister NT Rama Rao was very upset and unhappy with the courts at that time. But NTR never crossed or violated the orders of courts and he rendered his services to the public within the limits of the courts’ judgements.

Vundavalli warned CM Jagan that the State would be thrown into chaos and devastation if the confrontation between the legislature and the judiciary further aggravates. Jagan letter was leaked only with the intention of making public his allegations.

Vundavalli Arun Kumar said that he mailed to CJI to conduct virtual courts and give live telecast of important cases. It was obvious Jagan Reddy was the target of Vundavalli’s attack.
