Andhra Pradesh Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao today hit out at Opposition leader Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, saying his protests against the Government development plans are examples of his "inexperience and half knowledge" on important issues.
Jagan's visit to Bhogapuram area in Vizianagaram district to protest the proposed international airport there was aimed at instigating local people against the project, he said.
Talking to newspersons here, Rao said Jagan has "utterly" failed as an Opposition leader and his political strategy reflects his inefficiency and immaturity.
The role of an Opposition party is to play a vibrant and constructive role, but Jagan is an "inexperienced" leader and possesses "half knowledge" on issues of public interest.
The proposed international airport in Bhogapuram will lead to development of Vizianagaram and surrounding districts. How can anyone build physical infrastructure without land and hence TDP has been convincing the farmers to support land acquisition for the airport, Rao claimed.
TDP Government is considering the demands of the land losers. But, Jagan has been trying to provoke a section of people in Bhogapuram for his political mileage, he added.
