"I spoke to the leaders of the Muslims in the district expressing my regrets and also to Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy explaining the issue and convinced them.
But Naidu with an ulterior motive raked up the issue only to create rift between Muslims and others in the society and also trying his best to derive political mileage on the issues which was closed with the Muslims also accepting my apology,'' he said asserting that Daliths and Muslims are like brothers as theyare one family.
Speaking to media after the video-conference with the Chief Minister here on Tuesday, Narayana Swamy reminded that it was the YSRCP and Jagan Mohan Reddy in particularly doing their best for SC, ST, BC and Minorities which was evident with giving Deputy CM post to these communities, he affirmed that he too on his part since his political entry striving for Muslims development.
"I prayed Allah also to get rid of COVID-19," he said accusing Naidu of blowing the issue as he has no other issue to irk the government.

Pachayat Raj Minister Ramachandra Reddy in an effort to defend Narayana Swamy said that no one is ready to believe Chandrababu Naidu.
