TDP will revive fortunes of Telangana: Naidu

Hyderabad: TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday reaffirmed his commitment to build the new State from the scratch by developing into a vibrant economy wherein disadvantaged communities would have access to all opportunities. Addressing a series of public meetings as part of the election campaign in Chevella parliamentary constituency, he said that the State owed much to the contributions made by the TDP government. Claiming credit for the emergence of Hyderabad as the information technology hub, he said the TDP would revive the fortunes of the people in the region if it was voted back to power. Launching a blistering attack on the Congress for putting the State on a backward streak, he said that the people had turned averse to the Congress thanks to the decade of political turbulence that they had.

The BJP-TDP combine would be back in power in both the new States and the Centre, he said, while cautioning the electorate against being carried away by the TRS propaganda. He said the TRS was known for its betrayal. The TRS chief would not hesitate to bite the hand that feeds him. Taking strong exception to an attempt at branding the TDP as a party of Andhraites, he questioned as to what prompted KCR to go all-out for praising Sonia Gandhi despite her Italian roots. He flayed the TRS chief for keeping mum on his promise to make a Dalit the first Chief Minister for Telangana.
