Overview

  • Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the state’s own revenues rose just 3.08% year-on-year in 2024–25, citing CAG figures.
  • He asserted that combined GST and sales tax receipts in the first four months of 2025–26 were lower than the same period a year earlier.
  • Using a short-window comparison, he calculated a 2.39% compounded annual growth rate for own-revenues between early 2023–24 and 2025–26, versus what he described as a normal 10%.
  • He contrasted liabilities, stating his 2019–24 tenure added about ₹3.32 lakh crore while the TDP-led government accumulated ₹1,86,361 crore in its first 14 months, or 56% of that five-year total.
  • He posted the critique on X on Saturday, urging the Naidu-led alliance to rethink governance and alleging widespread corruption, with no rebuttal reported in the cited coverage.
