HYDERABAD: Launching a no-holds-barred attack against TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, TDP chief and AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said that fearing defeat, Rao has been misleading Telangana people that if People’s Front is voted to power, Telangana’s interests would be compromised.
During a road show in Rajendranagar and Sanathnagar Assembly constituencies on Saturday, Naidu said: “Fear of defeat has gripped KCR. He is misleading Telangana people that I will remotely control the government here. Why would I do that? I have ruled the united AP for nine years and won the hearts of everyone including Telangana people. Now I’m the Chief Minister of AP and working for its development.
If People’s Front comes to power in Telangana then the CM will be a Congress person. I only wish to see Telangana’s development,” Naidu said in an effort to dismiss TRS propaganda. Stepping up his attack on the TRS, Naidu said: “I never said I built Hyderabad. Hyderabad was build by Quli Qutb Shah. But I’m reiterating that Cyberabad was built me. I have travelled round the world and brought global companies here.
KTR says that by constructing four buildings, I’m claiming to have developed the city. My contribution did not stop with four walls. From developing Hitec City to putting Hyderabad on the world map happened during my regime. Did KCR and KTR contribute anything for the city? Except Pragati Bhavan and farm house,” Naidu thundered.
“Did KCR implement at least one scheme or policy for the people which he can proudly claim in his rule? I put all my energies for the development of Hyderabad. Did KCR bring any investment. Ask any one industrialist? My contribution is evident in every corner of Hyderabad. Microsoft, Mindspace, IIIT, Shamshabad Greenfield Airport...all came up due to my efforts. I have even sacrificed the post of Prime Minister twice to focus on Hyderabad’s development.
If TDP was not there, where would KCR have been today?” Naidu questioned speaking at Manikonda.
The TDP president also used the occasion to take on the BJP terming that PM Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah are a dangerous jodi who are unleashing vendetta on opposition parties, misuing CBI, ED and other Central agencies. He even trained his guns at YSRC chief Jagan saying that he is indirectly supporting TRS.
Naidu campaigns for niece
Later in the day, Naidu’s road show passed through Kukatpally constituency, where late Nandamuri Harikrishna’s daugther Suhasini is taking on the TRS. “TRS leaders are questioning why I came to Telangana? If they see the huge turnout and response to our campaign in Kukatpally, they will get the answer. Kuktapally has always been a TDP bastion and people will ensure her victory with huge majority. Even TRS candidate Madhavaram Krishna Rao also won from TDP and betrayed us. You should teach him a lesson” exhorted Naidu, as crowds cheered.
