Why Congress Is Better Than BJP For Naidu?

Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is desperately trying to defend his decision to join hands with the Congress party after disassociating with the Bharatiya Janata Party in March this year.

Notwithstanding the recent debacle of the party in Telangana elections despite forging an alliance with the Congress, Naidu still wants to continue friendship with the national party, since he feels he can compensate the loss of two per cent votes following disassociation with the BJP.

But he has to give some reasoning to the people. That is why he has been trying to brainwash the people saying Congress was much better the BJP.

“We have joined hands with the Congress, as the latter had promised to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh,” Naidu said speaking to media.

He reminded that Congress President Rahul Gandhi while addressing a gathering in Kurnool in September had assured that his party will confer special category status on Andhra Pradesh after it emerges victorious in next year's general elections.

He alleged that the BJP had betrayed the faith of the people while Congress has promised the state with special category status.

“BJP is more dangerous than Congress. It's true that Congress caused loss to the state earlier. But they are ready to support AP in the matter of special status. BJP didn't implement the things in AP Reorganization Act and betrayed our state. Now BJP is more dangerous than Congress to the state," he said.

Furious with the BJP, Naidu accused it of betraying Andhra Pradesh.

"Modi had sworn at the abode of Lord Balaji to build a capital for Andhra Pradesh, which would be greater than Delhi, to fulfil the promises of reorganization act, to give special package in the lines of Bundelkhand package. But he did not fulfil not even a single promise,” he alleged.
