Naidu blames Modi for doing injustice to AP

"Even a small child will say Narendra Modi has done injustice to Andhra Pradesh" said Telugu Desam Party President and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Friday hours after pulling out of the NDA.

Launching the attack on Modi from the state legislative council in Amaravati, where he introduced a resolution condemning the injustice meted out to the state, Naidu accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of deliberately ignoring the state. This is the first time that Naidu ever took Modi's name and criticized.

When a BJP member tried to object on taking Modi's name, Naidu said, "If a person in the state does not get pension, they will criticise the chief minister. Same is the case with a prime minister". Naidu said that a vengeful centre will hound him but he is not afraid of anybody. "My state and its development are my only concerns. I can face any challenge in my journey towards this direction", he declared.

Naidu wondered how the Prime Minister is entertaining those accused in serious economic frauds. "What signals are you sending, by entertaining  YS Jaganmohan Reddy and his party MP Vijay Sai Reddy who were accused in serious economic fraud cases. "Vijay Sai Reddy rushes to Bihar and releases his pictures with president nominee Ramnath Kovind. Does this not send signals to ED (Enforcement Directorate) and investigating agencies to be careful? "Naidu questioned Modi and BJP leadership. He saw a pattern in Jaganmohan Reddy getting relief in cases one after other.

The Chief Minister wondered why the PM could not spare an hour to talk on the issues concerning Andhra Pradesh, when MPs from the friendly party were agitating in the Parliament. Earlier during an informal chat with the reporters Naidu reportedly commented that if Nirav Modi was able to leave India happily, Jagan could also come out of cases.
