VISAKHAPATNAM: Galvanising the party into election mode, Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party supremo N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday exhorted partymen to publicise the good work done by his government and help the party retain power in 2019 even as he made it clear that “disruptive” elements within the party would not be tolerated.
Inaugurating the TDP's three-day annual conclave, Mahanadu, here, Naidu spoke at length on his government's philosophy, future roadmap for the cadre, the party's alliance with the BJP and indiscipline among some party leaders.
“After the State bifurcation, to address the situation that had arisen out of it, continuous help from the Central government is vital. We allied with the BJP to contest the elections and Narendra Modi emerged as a powerful and popular leader.
BJP has absolute majority like never before at the Centre, while the TDP has absolute mandate in Andhra Pradesh. For the good of the country and the State, we have become partners,” he explained. The TDP chief, who had been silent on the recent internal feuds in the party, minced no words in expressing his displeasure over the ugly incidents.
