Trounce anti-Andhra parties, Chandrababu Naidu tells people

Amaravati: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday alleged that the BJP, YSR Congress Party and TRS are "anti-Andhra parties", adding that they should face "worst defeat ever" in the ensuing Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.

Naidu, who held a teleconference with TDP leaders here, said: "The BJP, TRS, YSRCP are anti-Andhra parties. They all should face worst defeat ever in the ensuing Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. "We will not get trapped in the YSR Congress' luring; will not be afraid of the BJP and TRS' threatening. We will save the self-respect of Andhrites and boost their self-confidence. Our aim is achieving a happy state," he added.

Continuing his tirade against the BJP, Naidu alleged that the raids which were conducted by the Income Tax department at Karnataka ministers' premises are the "epitome of harassment by the BJP". "The BJP is committing mistakes with the fear of defeat," he said.

Stating that all should condemn the "anarchic attitude" of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy's YSRCP, Naidu said: "The YSRCP frustration has reached new peaks. Its attack on a pregnant woman at Gajuwaka public meeting is highly condemnable. Everyone should condemn the anarchic attitude of the YSRCP. It is a party of criminals. Voting for Jagan means you vote for criminals. The YSRCP should be defeated."

Wishing people on the occasion of TDP's 38th formation day, Naidu told his party cadres: "We have to take forward the message of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP founder N T Rama Rao to the people of the state."

"Our party has been in power for 23 years. It is an honour that no party could achieve. People first is our motto. 'Society is the temple and people are the gods' is a path that NTR has shown us," he added.

Naidu further said that TDP's aim is to achieve a happy society without poverty. "We've brought welfare revolution in these 5 years. We dedicate this welfare revolution to NTR. He is the first person in the country to begin welfare schemes. With his blessings, Andhra Pradesh has become an ideal for the country when it comes to welfare policies."
