Is the Middle Class in Andhra Pradesh Paying the Price for Failed Inflation Control Under Chandrababu Naidu?
​
I’m genuinely curious how middle-class families in Andhra Pradesh are managing expenses right now. LPG cylinder prices are high, fuel prices are rising, groceries are becoming more expensive every month, and salaries are not increasing at the same pace.
during elections, there were many promises about development and economic growth, but for ordinary families, daily life feels harder than before. The current government talks a lot about investments and infrastructure, but what about basic affordability for common people?
under Jagan’s government, many people at least felt there were welfare schemes and some level of financial support that helped households survive inflation pressure. Whether people liked his politics or not, middle-class and lower-income families had some relief through direct benefit schemes.
today, even a simple monthly budget feels difficult to manage. Rent, school fees, petrol, electricity, and gas prices together are creating huge pressure on families.
are others also feeling that inflation control under Chandrababu Naidu’s government has been disappointing compared to the previous administration?
