Modi 'campaign PM'; BJP will 'definitely' not come to power in 2019: Chandrababu

May 27, 2018 15:08

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he is a campaign PM who has failed to deliver on promises and said the BJP would definitely not come to power in 2019.

Inaugurating Mahanadu, the TDP's annual conclave, he said the Telugu Desam Party played a key role in forming governments in the past and had the power to change the political narrative in the country, hinting that it would tie-up with like-minded parties to stop the BJP's juggernaut in 2019.

The Congress is in the opposition. It cannot do much. But the BJP will definitely not come to power in 2019, he said.

Naidu said the BJP coming to power in 2019 was a distant dream and Prime Minister Narendra was a campaign PM, who gives slogans only, and has failed to deliver on promises.

The party president said the TDP was key in forming the United Front government in 1996.

The TDP has in the past played a key role in forming governments. It has the power to change the political narrative in the country. We won't step back, Naidu said.

He said the TDP withdrew support from the NDA government as the Centre had reneged on its promise to grant Andhra Pradesh Special Category status and to implement the AP Reorganisation Act.

Naidu accused the BJP of betraying the people of Andhra Pradesh and trying to create law and order problems in the state in collusion with the YSRCP.
