TDP will make 100 leaders for every single defector: Chandrababu Naidu

Amaravati: The YSRCP was resorting to blatant misuse of power and official machinery to lure the opposition party leaders, criticised the TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday while reacting with the party leaders in a virtual meeting. He blamed that the ruling party leaders were threatening, inducing and luring the TDP leaders. Reacting to the TDP leaders joining in YSRCP, from Prakasam district, Naidu said that nobody could destroy the TDP.

Naidu said that TDP was a political university with a capacity to create 100 new leaders for every single deserter.

Taking part in an online meeting with party senior leaders and mandal presidents, the TDP chief said there would be no problem even if one or two leaders were quitting the party after having enjoyed top posts. All such leaders have only disappeared over the years. The TDP would build a strong and efficient leadership keeping in view the need for the next 40 years, he explained.

Commenting on Jaganna Chedodu welfare scheme launched by the chief minister, Naidu said it was another political gimmick aimed at betraying the Backward Classes. In the name of this new programme, they have cut benefits for lakhs of deserving families. There were 5.5 lakh Nayi Brahmins in the state but financial assistance was given to only 38,000 families, Naidu observed.
