Naidu Shouts Jai Telangana Slogan!

Naidu Shouts Jai Telangana Slogan!

Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who is notorious for changing his stand on any issue whenever it suits him politically, proved it once again at the Maha Kootami public meeting held at Khammam on Wednesday.

He made a desperate attempt to claim that he was not against Telangana formation and in fact, the new state was dearer to him.

“Telangana state has been my favourite place and the people here are closer to my heart,” he said.

And to everybody’s surprise, Naidu shouted slogans thrice: “Jai Telangana, Jai Telangana and Jai Telangana.”

He refuted the allegation levelled by TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao that the TDP had been conspiring to stall irrigation projects in Telangana.

“In fact, several irrigation projects took shape during my regime. Andhra Pradesh is a lower riparian state. How can my government stall the irrigation projects upstream? I only wanted that both the states should go by the Godavari and Krishna water tribunal recommendations, so that it would benefit people on either side,” he explained.

Naidu sought to gain sympathy of people by saying that he was being abused by KCR for no fault of him.

“What mistake have I committed? I leave it to wisdom. My culture comes in the way of me giving a retort to him,” he said.

He said the TDP was fighting for self-respect of the Telugu people.

“My only wish is that the Telugu people should remain united despite belonging to two states. I have no interest whatsoever in ruling Telangana,” he said.
