AP CM Chandrababu Naidu is all out for a do-or-die battle with the Centre on the issue of AP Governor Narasimhan’s extra constitutional activities. Naidu is leaving for Delhi today to hold discussions with national level leaders who include Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Bennerjee, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and some top Congress leaders.
Naidu is very furious over Governor taking authority into his hands by talking directly to DGP and revenue officials to submit a report to Centre on the Jagan fan attack at Vizag airport. AP CM is of the opinion that the Jagan fake attack and Governor’s over enthusiasm are part of the greater conspiracy by BJP to remove TDP government in AP on some pretext or other. Modi government at the Centre is eagerly waiting for breakdown of law and order situation in AP but this is not happening because of alertness and caution on the part of AP CM and people in the state.
After holding discussions with senior leaders, Naidu will address the national media in Delhi at 3 p.m. He is going to speak at length on the BJP conspiracy to dislodge the TDP government and the Governor’s proactive role in this vicious scheme. This is the first time that Naidu has taken a strong anti-Narasimhan stand ever since bifurcation of United AP. There is a rising wave of criticism against Narasimhan’s role as Governor prior to, during and after the division of United State which left AP without a capital city of its own and with no enough revenue sources.
Naidu’s Delhi visit is expected to highlight the need for restraining Governors from causing undue harm to state governments by acting as mere agents of whichever party is ruling at the Centre. Former Governor Ram Lal’s role in removal of NTR government in 1984 would also come up for discussion in the light of charges of extra constitutional activities against Narasimhan.
