By India Today News Desk: The move by the YS Jagan Government to rename the Abdul Kalam View Point in Andhra Pradesh’s Vizag to YSR View point has sparked widespread criticism from the opposition parties in the state.
It has caused a stir, with many leaders expressing their disappointment over the decision, citing it as disrespectful to the legacy of the former President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam.
TDP CHIEF CALLS IT DISRESPECTING
The decision has sparked a political war of words between the ruling and opposition parties, with the latter accusing the government of playing politics with the legacy of one of India’s most respected figures.
Chandrababu Naidu, the Chief of Telugu Desam Party (TDP), who had also served as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, said in a statement, “Saddened to see Abdul Kalam View Point in Vizag being renamed as YSR View Point. What is this psychopathic sadism to change names? This is nothing but disrespecting a much-loved people’s president who epitomized honesty, discipline, and perseverance.”
Reportedly, the YSR Congress, however, defended the move, saying that it was a tribute to their leader and former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, whose vision was to develop the state’s tourism sector.
