Amaravati: In his second attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a week, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday dubbed him a “blackmailer” who “threatens” everybody to make them fall in line. Last Sunday, he had termed the PM a “hollow man who has done nothing” for the country.
Addressing a press conference here, Chandrababu Naidu also launched a scathing attack on Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for “conspiring” against Andhra Pradesh with the objective of stalling its growth.
“Modi is a blackmailer. He gets cases foisted (against someone) and later bails him out. He then blackmails that person. That’s what he’s doing,” the CM alleged.
“The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director himself hs said that Modi got a case filed against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. Modi also bailed out Telangana CM in a corruption case related to the ESI Corporation,” Naidu alleged.
“Both Modi and KCR do not want AP to progress. So they want to destabilise me. Here (YSR Congress president) Jagan wants to win (power), so he is taking their support. Is this not a conspiracy?” Naidu asked.
The CM asserted that Andhra Pradesh would definitely “create wealth. We have a vision and we will work hard. But Modi and KCR don’t like wealth creation.” He also took exception to the “language” used by KCR against him on Saturday. “Decency is important in politics… His tone is uncivilised,” he lamented.
On KCR’s offer to write to the PM for “special category status” to Andhra Pradesh, Naidu replied: “May be he is preparing the ground along with Jagan to come and work here. All of them want to finish off Chandrababu Naidu.” — PTI
