Kanna Laxminarayana was the Andhra Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party President before Somu Veerraju took his position. When Kanna was the President, he regularly spoke against the YSRCP government’s plans and opposed the government’s 3 Capital plans. However, after Somu Veerraju got into the picture, the voices that spoke out against Jagan slowly died down.
Kanna too slowly disappeared after Somu Veerraju became the President. In the past few weeks though, Kanna’s voice has once again become quite prominent in opposing the YSRCP government’s decisions, and the way Jagan is handling the coronavirus crisis in AP. He also criticized Jagan’s decision of converting temples in the state to covid centres. He also called out Jagan on his letter to the Prime Minister, in which he requested PM Modi to stop supplying vaccine doses to private hospitals.
Kanna said that the YSRCP is being highly political even during coronavirus, and wants only its supporters to benefit during this crisis, which is why Jagan doesn’t want the centre to give vaccine doses to private hospitals. Furthermore, Kanna strongly condemned the way RRR was arrested simply out of political vendetta, and not without proper reasoning.
