Visakhapatnam: In an all-out attack aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP for breaking the coalition dharma and targeting Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, roads and buildings minister Ch Ayyanna Patrudu of TD on Monday said that Modi has ignored the coalition protest and he has done nothing for Andhra Pradesh which had suffered a lot due to the bifurcation.
“The BJP leaders have been trying to suppress the dynamic leader, our Chief Minister Naidu,” the minister added. Talking to mediapersons at Narispatnam in Visakhapatnam, Patrudu confidently said that he has no doubt that most of the BJP leaders are afraid that Naidu will play a crucial role in politics at the Centre.
Replying a question, Ayyanna Patrudu said that unlike North India, regional parties in South India are very strong and people here have lost faith in the saffron party. “BJP will lose 40 seats in the Karnataka Assembly elections and defeat is staring the BJP in its face and similarly BJP would not win seats in AP without the support of the regional parties here,” he added. If BJP and Jana Sena tied up with YSRC in AP, Jagan would lose his votebank and so will Pawan of Jana Sena, the minister added.
