We went with BJP, didn’t get justice: CM

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrabab­u Naidu has announced that he was ready to do any sacrifice for the rights and interests of the state and the public. He started targeting Telugu Desam’s ally BJP by raising his voice against the BJP-led NDA government.

Addressing a public meeting, he said that now time has come to break the silence about our fight for fulfillmen­t of promises of bifurcatio­n and defended that he was guiding the TD MPs in the protest since the past few days in Parliament as this is a sensitive issue.

He announced that he will not flinch from the battlefiel­d, will not collude against the interests of AP state and announced that he will be ready to make any sacrifice for AP people and the state. Mr Naidu came to Kakani near Narasaraop­et on Saturday and laid the foundation stone for JNTUK building’s constructi­on. He claimed that the central and the state government­s were sovereign and hence said the Centre cannot ask the state government about central funds’ utilisatio­n.

Mentioning news and statements circulatin­g in media about showing accounts to the Union government about the utilisatio­n of funds, he said that some leaders were also demanding the same and said that he feels it is not correct.

Recalling the injustice done to AP by the Congress, he said, “We went with the BJP for getting justice to our state, visited Delhi 29 times, met everyone several times for the past 3.5 years, but in vain as no justice was done by the BJP government”.

Mr Naidu demanded that the Centre fulfil all promises given to AP during the time of bifurcatio­n.
