Excerpts of an interview to Hindustan Times: gress nor the BJP could think in a different way in creating wealth in this nation. There has always been an incidental growth or an incrementa­l growth. The lack of political acumen and statesmans­hip in Congress and BJP has led to the emergence of an alternativ­e political platform to bring change in the country. the House along with YSR Congress Party and Telugu Desam Party. Suddenly, the two parties are trying to take politics integral to Andhra Pradesh on the national scene by giving notices. So, how did we support the BJP? Since there was criticism that we are blocking their no-confidence motion and also because it concerned our neighbouri­ng state, we changed the strategy and sat silently in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. We never protected the NDA government and we don’t have any agenda to shield it. We were protesting on the reservatio­n issue and for our distressed farmers. (Rahul Gandhi) address these issues? If you are not addressing my issues, how are you relevant to my region? If they (Congress) want us to fight the BJP, let them come out with their agenda to bring about the qualitativ­e change in the country. Then we will see. We are in touch with many parties. It is too soon to reveal that. Many parties were waiting for a neutral platform, so the feeling is mutual. We are hoping that other likeminded parties will come together and join hands for the future of this country.
