Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu suspects that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre might grant special category status after entering into an electoral understanding with the YSR Congress party and the Jana Sena Party.
Though the Telugu Desam Party coming out of the National Democratic Alliance has been on cards for quite some time, TDP president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu took almost eight days to announce the decision, after withdrawing from the Modi cabinet.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, whose TDP on Friday pulled out of the BJP-led NDA, mounted a scathing attack on the Prime Minister's Office for allegedly entertaining criminals.
The BJP on Friday said the exit of TDP from the NDA was "inevitable after its mischievous propaganda against the Centre" and asserted that the latter's exit is "a timely opportunity" for the saffron party to grow in Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Pradesh's ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Friday pulled out of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and was set to move a no-confidence motion against the government over its refusal to grant special category status to the state, party leaders said.
The ruling TDP in Andhra Pradesh, an NDA ally, has decided to quit the NDA coalition government over grant of special status to the state.
Amidst developments of YSRCP moving a no-confidence motion against PM Modi and TDP reluctantly preparing to withdraw its support based on the issue of Special Status, YSRCP MP P Vijay Sai Reddy pointed out the hollowness in Chandra Babu Naidu's comments about repeatedly being denied an appointment by Prime Minister Modi.
Within hours of power star and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan created a storm in the Andhra politics by launching a broadside against Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, his son Lokesh Naidu and his alleged corrupt government, the TDP leaders launched a massive counter attack on the actor.
It looks like the time is up for the Telugu Desam Party to continue its reluctant friendship with Bharatiya Janata Party.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is playing the same kind of politics that he had played in Tamil Nadu to weaken the regional parties by instigating one against the other, in Andhra Pradesh too.
As announced by YSRC Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, party leaders in Delhi on Thursday issued a notice to Lok Sabha authorities seeking to move the no=confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government on March 16.
More than anybody else, it is YSR Congress party which is celebrating the outburst of Jana Sena Party chief and actor Pawan Kalyan against the Telugu Desam Party and its president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu at the public meeting in Guntur on Wednesday.
Pawan Kalyan and Trivikram are thickest of friends in the industry, but the duo has now decided not get involved in each other’s work henceforth.
Jana Sena Party chief and actor Pawan Kalyan has made it clear that he will not lend support to Telugu Desam party in the forthcoming general elections.
If the Centre gives at least a ‘Diary Milk’ to Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP will take the entire credit for the chocolate.
