NEW DELHI: The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu who was in Delhi on Saturday met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other opposition leaders. Kejriwal after meeting stated that in order to save India, people across nation should join hands.

People across India will need to join hands to save India and the Constitution-" the Delhi chief minister tweeted.Naidu later on held a press meet at Constitution Club where he launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi led central government and spoke about the current CBI controversy."Rakesh Asthana was PM's intelligence chief for some time. He (PM) brought him.
Prime Minister has to answer now. He is responsible for Asthana, for this debacle. Even our PM had said that all culprits in political corruption cases will be punished within one year time. On the contrary, some people are escaping. You're supporting tainted parties and victimising those who oppose you" said Naidu. "The Chief Minister came. He is trying to see whether we can save the diversity of India so that everybody from poor to rich feels that he belongs to this nation. Today, nation is in disarray" said Abdullah after meeting Naidu.
The former ally also alleged that his government was wrongfully targeted after an attack on political rival Jaganmoan Reddy of the YSR Congress this week.ENDS
