Shah interferin­g in administra­tive affairs: Naidu

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT VIJAYAWADA, MAY 28

TD president and AP Chief Minister Nara Chandrabab­u Naidu alleged that BJP president Amit Shah was interferin­g with the administra­tive affairs of the Centre and the AP government.

He questioned Mr Shah’s alleged attempt to involve himself in the state government issuing utility certificat­es (UC) for use of funds from Centrally sponsored schemes.

He claimed that Mr Shah was threatenin­g the people in the name of technology. “The BJP chief is thinking that with the mobile data of 75 crore people across the country, he can do anything,” Mr Naidu said. He was addressing the party’s Mahanadu conclave here on the second day.

“Amit Shah is unnecessar­ily involving himself in administra­tive affairs, that too in the capacity of a party chief and member of Parliament,”Mr Naidu said. “Amit Shah was asking about utility certificat­es. What kind of UC does Amit Shah need for special status? What kind of UC do you need for the `16,000 crore budget,” Mr Naidu said.

He questioned the funds sanctioned to Gujarat and to the Telugu states.

The BJP president was trying to threaten the people by stating that the party had the mobile phone data of 75 crore with it. “What do they do with the data? He wants to use technology in an adverse way,” Naidu alleged.

Mr Naidu focused his speech on Mr Amit Shah on Monday, after speaking against Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the first day.

It was noticed that Mr Naidu looked at his mobile phone at least thrice while on the dias, in the wake of TS TD leader Motkupally Narasimhul­u’s allegation­s against him.
