Vijayawada: BJP spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member G.V.L. Narasimha Rao said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would address two meetings in Andhra Pradesh. Titled Vijay Sankalp Sabha, Mr Modi would address the meeting in Rajahmundry on March 29 and on April 1 in Kurnool.
Mr Rao said BJP president Amit Shah would also address meetings in the state. The party's state manifesto will be released by Union minister Piyush Goyal on March 26.
Mr Rao alleged that the TD had set aside `6,000 crore to spend on the elections. Lok Sabha nominations were being given to those who could spend `70 crore, and an Assembly ticket to those with `25 crore.
He said it was quite some time that a common person had seen a `2,000 note, implying that the currency notes were being hoarded. He said the party would approach the Election Commission and seek a vigil on bank transactions during the elections.
He said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was not in a position to say what he had achieved in the state in the last five years. He said that Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan had been repeating whatever Mr Naidu was saying.
He asked Mr Kalyan to give details of the incidents where he had claimed that people of AP origin are being beaten up in Telangana.
