NDA will win 160 Assembly seats in State, says Naidu

- TDP national president

The developmen­t of State has su†ered a setback due to the destructiv­e policies of the YSRCP government

Alleging that the developmen­t of State has suŸered a setback due to the “destructiv­e policies” of the YSRCP government, TDP national president N. Chandrabau Naidu has exhorted the voters to exercise their franchise in favour of the NDA.

Addressing a public meeting at Anakapalli on Monday, Mr. Naidu expressed con„dence that the NDA would win 160 of the 175 Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement made earlier at the meeting, the TDP chief said that the ‘double engine sarkar’ would take India from the present „fth place to the thrid in the World GDP rankings in the next „ve years.

Mr. Naidu said that his and JSP president K. Pawan Kalyan’s dream was to achieve ‘Vikasit Andhra Pradesh’ by 2047. “The NDA, if elected to power, will check crimes, build capital at Amaravati, complete the Polavaram and Uttarandhr­a Sujala Sravanthi projects, apart from protecting the Telugu language and culture,” he said.

Mr. Naidu ridiculed Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy over the A.P. Land Titling Act and for the land documents carrying the photo of the Chief Minister. Describing the YSRCP leaders as the “traitors of North Andhra”, he alleged that YSRCP had looted Visakhapat­nam.

He said that the TDP, during its tenure, had spent ₹2,500 crore on developmen­t in the North Andhra region, while the YSRCP government had spent ₹500 crore only for the purpose in the last „ve years. “The TDP has promoted leaders from North Andhra region such as Yerran Naidu, Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu, Bandaru Satyanaray­ana Murthy and Pratibha Bharathi, while the YSRCP thrust outsiders such as V. Vijaya Sai Reddy and Y.V. Subba Reddy upon the region.
