Describing Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu as the real Narakasura, YSR Congress party on Tuesday said the real Diwali would be celebrated in the state only after the decimation of this modern Narakasura in 2019 assembly elections.
Senior leader and former minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy said Naidu was an insignificant character and a dwarf in the national politics.
“He is trying to create an impression that he was bringing all parties together against the NDA, but the real reason for his visit to Delhi was to appeal to Congress president Rahul Gandhi to come to his rescue in the wake of the trouble brewing for him following the attack on the life of YSRC president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy,” he said.
He said the shift from NDA to UPA was the political compulsion of Naidu who was main person responsible for the attack on Jagan.
He and his cabinet colleagues sought to divert the issue by taking up irrelevant issues like anti-NDA front.
The police also tried to dilute the issue of attack on Jagan by raising frivolous issues of little or no consequence within hours of the incident, despite the fact that the top brass of police and bureaucracy camping at Amaravathi.
He wondered why the TDP government took it easy the Operation Garuda theory proposed by actor Sivaji, when it could take a small posting in social media very seriously.
“Is the Operation Garuda too part of a larger conspiracy?” he asked.
The economy of the state has been in a shambles as the Chandrababu Naidu government has increased the quantum of loans by adding Rs 1.5 lakh crores and it has only benefitted the TDP leadership and its coterie that got exorbitant rates for contracts and nothing was spent on welfare measures or for the benefit of people, he said.
