TIRUPATI: TD supremo and AP CM N. Chandrababu Naidu termed YSR Congress president a slave to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing public meetings at Bangarupalyam in Puthalapattu and in Chittoor constituency on Monday, he alleged that the YSRC chief has surrendered himself to Narendra Modi only to escape from conviction in criminal cases filed against him.
“Jagan has become a puppet in the hands of Modi and Telangana CM KCR,” Mr. Naidu said and added that the trio were trying to stall development in the state.
“Jagan’s fan (YSRC party symbol) gets power from Modi in Delhi and the switch is in KCR’s hands in Hyderabad.”
Mr Naidu also said that Jagan goes to Lotus Pond in Hyderabad every night and comes to AP in the morning. “Do the people in AP need such a person who can’t even stay in the state as a CM,” the TD chief asked.
Terming the claims made by Modi about the works sanctioned by the Centre to the state as lies, Mr. Naidu alleged that the Prime Minister betrayed the people of AP by failing to fulfil the promises made during division.
Targeting at KCR, Mr. Naidu accused him of instigating people in TS against Andhra people and their properties and even targeting officials. “I have developed Hyderabad in all fronts including hi-tech city, Cyberabad, international airport and put it on the global map. But, after the bifurcation we were humiliated and sent out of the state”, he said.
“Our people believed in me and made CM to the state. In return I worked hard day and night to develop AP, despite of financial crisis and obstacles from various sections. Despite financial crisis, we built houses for the poor, given loans and benefits to farmers and women, provided fee reimbursement, given financial assistane to marriages, etc”, he claimed.
