• The state crossed the Net Borrowing Ceiling limit set by the Centre for state governments.
• This ceiling is the limit fixed by the central government on how much states can borrow.
• Chandrababu and his associates are only focused on looting resources.
• Soil, sand, land and liquor — nothing is being spared.
• There is exploitation everywhere.
• If resources are looted like this, how will government revenues increase?
• How will welfare reach the people?
• The land scam in Visakhapatnam is an example of such exploitation.
• This shows the gap between Chandrababu’s claims and his actual governance.
• On one side, they spread false propaganda against us.
• On the other side, they are taking loans and trying to hide them.

• But in the Assembly, the government said loans were ₹60,485.40 crore.
• There is a difference of nearly ₹20,000 crore.
• The 16-day Assembly session brought no benefit to the people.
• It was filled with self-praise and criticism of opponents.
• Jagan mocked the alliance leaders, saying:
• Lokesh lifts Chandrababu with jacks.
• Chandrababu lifts Lokesh with jacks.
• Pawan Kalyan lifts both of them with jacks.
• Three budgets have been presented, but Super Six and Super Seven promises are missing.
• There is no answer on unemployment allowance.
• The government promised ₹1,500 per month for women aged 18 to 60 under Aadabidda Nidhi, but there is no mention of it in the Assembly.
• Each unemployed person is owed ₹1.08 lakh as promised benefits.
• He questioned how many promises made to the people have actually been fulfilled in these budgets.
• The government promised ₹4,000 monthly pension to SC, ST, BC and minority women above 50 years.
• Has that promise been implemented?
• During YSRCP rule, 66,34,372 pensions were given.
• By February 2026, only 60,96,108 pensions were being given.
• By March 2026, the number dropped to 60,69,664 pensions.
• Around 25,000 pensions were cut in just one month.
