PM invokes NTR’s legacy, questions Naidu’s move to align with Congress
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday invoked the legacy of late Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N T Rama Rao to question TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu's move to align with the Congress, saying NTR's "atma" would be "hurt" on seeing this.
Veterans like Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder NTR, as he is addressed, were "insulted" by the arrogance of the "naamdars (famous)" of the Delhi family, Modi said in an apparent reference to the Congress party.
Addressing a BJP rally here, Modi questioned the rationale behind Naidu's plan to tie up with Congress, reminding him that his party's very existence was born out of the 'insult' meted out to his father-in-law by the grand old party.
