Amit Shah Lies Exposed – AP Government releases UCs

On March 16, the TDP walked out of the NDA over the BJP-led Centre’s failure to accord a special-category status to Andhra Pradesh. Since then war of words and letters has been happening between BJP and TDP leaders.

On March 23rd , BJP President Amit Shah had written an open letter to the Andhra chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, accusing Andhra Pradesh government did not submit utilization certificates for the central government funds to capital Amaravati, Backward districts.On this context, Telugu360 did some fact finding on utilization certificates released by AP government.

There are mainly two accusations in Amit Shah letter. He stated Utilisation Certificates (UCs) have been received only for 12% of the grant released for backward districts in 2016 -17 and UCs were received only for 8% for the 1000 crore released for the Capital region. Since, it is mandatory for the Central Government to have these details to release further installments: it cannot be blamed for fund lapses. 

But the UC documents released by Andhra Pradesh government have utilization certificates completed, submitted to union government to maximum extent.Amit Shah will be held responsible for his baseless accusations on a state government

First document shows NITI AAYOG certified statement confirms that AP government had submitted utilization certificates for Amaravati funds 2014-15,2015-16,2016-17

Second document shows AP government had submitted 946.47 crores UCs out of the released 1,050 Crores

TDP quit due to politics, not development concerns: BJP chief

Formalising the split between the two parties, BJP President Amit Shah has unleashed an attack on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, saying TDP’s decision to quit the NDA was unilateral “guided wholly and solely by political considerations instead of development concerns”.

In a nine-page March 23 letter released on Saturday, Shah described as “untrue and baseless” the TDP chief’s allegations that the BJP was not sensitive to the aspirations of the people of Andhra Pradesh.

He said the central government had released Rs 1,050 crore in the first three years coming to power as special development assistance for seven backward districts of the state.

“Surprisingly, the state has spent only 12 per cent of this amount and 88 per cent remains unutilized,” Shah said.

He termed as “nothing but a figment of your imagination” the Chief Minister’s claims that the Central government had asked the the amount be taken back because it was released without PMO’s sanction.

Shah accused the state government of “some serious lapses…which can’t be ignored”.

He said he had learnt that the Centre had not received appropriate fund utilization details, particularly with regards to developmental fund.

“Utilisation certificates have been received only for 12 per cent of the grant released for backward districts in 2016-17…only 8 per cent for Rs 1,000 crore released for the capital region.

“Since, it is mandatory for the central government to have these details to release further instalments, it cannot be blamed for fund lapses. Therefore, your statements that the state government has no obligation to give any such statements of expenditure reflect governance deficit.”

Shah said the BJP was committed to the cause of development of Andhra Pradesh but Naidu’s allowed the mandate earned by the two parties “be squandered for political reasons”.

“Unfortunately, partisan politics has overtaken leading to your party leaving the NDA.”

He said the decision “will be construed as being guided wholly and solely by political considerations instead of developmental concerns”.

The TDP walked out of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on March 16.

On March 8, the TDP pulled out its two ministers — Ashok Gajapathi Raju and Y.S. Chowdary — from the Narendra Modi government.

Nagam Janardhana Reddy worked as minister in TDP government earlier. During Telangana movement, he resigned to TDP in 2012 and formed his own party Telangana Nagara Samithi. Later he joined BJP and contested from Mahaboob Nagar constituency in the 2014 election and was defeated. However, Nagan Janardhana Reddy is very much dissatisfied with the BJP state leadership for quite some time.

It is reported that Nagam Janardhana Reddy met Congress president Rahul Gandhi last month and he received a green signal to join the Congress party. On the other hand, Congress party leaders from the Mahbubnagar district have expressed strong objection to join Nagam Janardhana Reddy into Congress Party. Anyway, influx of leaders into Telangana Congress seems to be unstoppable.

BJP to launch Rs 4800-crore project ‘Operation Garuda’ – Hero Sivaji

Hero Sivaji has been fighting for Special Category Status since the beginning. It is because of his dedication to fighting for the AP SCS, many NGOs, and non-political organizations took up the case seriously. Speaking to a web channel, Sivaji stated that he would reveal highly confidential information about ‘Operation Garuda’, rumoured to be carried out by BJP to counter TDP and CBN in the state. Following are the key excerpts from his speech.

  • It is actually ‘Operation Dravida’, targeting entire South India.
  • Operation Garuda – Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
  • Operation Ravana – Tamil Nadu
  • Operation Kumara – Karnataka
  • A National Party is targeting a ruling party and another prominent party in AP along with an upcoming leader.

‘I came to know about this way back in September 2017. Though I wanted to reveal about it long back, I held to myself. During my interview with Telakapalli Ravi itself, I said, the Centre will shower sops on AP, fearing a movement started by an upcoming leader.

BJP has allocated Rs 4800 for this complete project. My intention is to let the Telugu people know about this. With this leak, the way the ‘Operation’ by BJP will execute might change, but the targets will remain the same’, said Hero Sivaji.

Sivaji has also shared a 20min video via a pen-drive, to all the reporters present at the venue

Even Centre cannot stop Polavaram Project Funds – Yanamala

AP Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu expressed his displeasure over the Centre’s demeanour in the Lok Sabha. He alleged that it is the Central Government that is stopping the NCM from being moved in the house.

‘I strongly believe the Centre is involved in stopping the NCM from being moved. Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan should direct an inquiry into this. The BJP is behaving similarly to Congress at the time of bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.

In accordance with the provision, the states will receive funds. Just because TDP is planning to move the NCM in Lok Sabha, the Centre cannot stop the releasing of Polavaram Funds. The project works are being carried under the supervision of Polavaram Authority. On whom will the Centre direct an investigation?’, questioned Yanamala Ramakrishnudu.

He further added that ‘the Centre is ensuring that necessary bills are passed. But, it is obstructing the NCM from being moved’.

If Yanamala believes that Centre cannot stop the releasing of funds, then why is TDP crying foul on BJP and PM Modi, for insufficient funds being released towers the state? So who is lying now?

Will resign on one condition – BJP MLC Somu Veerraju!

BJP leader, MLC Somu Veerraju responded on the reports that he is resigning for his MLC.Talking to the media, the BJP leader stated that, he would resign only on one condition.

‘BJP and TDP together contested in the 2014 elections and came to power. I am elected under the MLA quota. If all the TDP MLAs, including AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, resign, even I will resign to my MLC post’, said Somu Veerraju.

BJP MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju debunked the claims that BJP leaders (sitting in New Delhi) are encouraging us (AP BJP leaders) to criticize TDP leaders in the State. ‘No one asked us to declare war against TDP’, added Vishnu Kumar Raju.

This once again exposed the level of animus are BJP and TDP towards each other. Many feel that it is the right time for YS Jagan to make an impact by attending the AP Assembly sessions. AP politics are turning to be more interesting than daily Telugu soaps.

BJP trying to suppress my voice: Chandrababu Naidu

Asserting that he is fighting for the rights of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday alleged that the BJP is trying to suppress his voice.

Naidu, also the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief, accused the BJP of provoking some people to make allegations against him for demanding justice to the state.

He was making an oblique reference to YSR Congress president Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan.

Naidu was addressing a group of Muslim leaders who called on him to show their solidarity in his fight with the BJP-led Central government.

Seeking support of Muslims and all other sections of people in his fight, the TDP chief said the BJP was trying to politically weaken him. “I am not an individual. They are trying to weaken the state,” he said.

Claiming that he had joined the BJP-led NDA for the state’s interests, he said that his party pulled out of government and exited the alliance as it had failed to deliver on the promises made to the state.

“They are now saying they will wage a war against me. War for what? Did I demand anything unjust? I only asked about the commitments made in Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act and the promises made in Rajya Sabha (during bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh),” said Naidu, whose party has moved a no-confidence motion against the Narendra Modi government.

Stating that he is fighting for the rights of five crore people of the state, the Chief Minister said the TDP would not rest till achieving the goal of special category status.

Naidu said the fight for state’s rights should continue. “We should protest but at the same time we should ensure that the state doesn’t suffer. We should protest like Japan by moving ahead on the path of development,” he added.

The TDP leader assured the Muslims that the government will hire best lawyers and spent whatever money required to protect the four percent reservation enjoyed by the community in education and government jobs.

He claimed that TDP was the first party to raise its voice against triple talaq bill tabled in the Parliament, terming the bill was a deliberate attempt of bias against Muslims. “I made it clear that while I am against triple talaq, it is not correct to arrest the husband and jail him as his family and children will suffer,” said Naidu.

If not for PK and BJP, YS Jagan would have become the CM – MLC Vishnu Kumar Raju

BJP MLC Vishnu Kumar Raju has never taken a back step, especially when it came to making controversial comments. Though his comments are close to realities, the way he expresses them generates intense political heat. In his latest dose of ‘hot’ comments, the BJP MLC spoke about YS Jagan becoming Andhra Pradesh CM in 2014.

The BJP leader took part in a function on Sunday. Speaking on the occasion, Vishnu Kumar Raju said, ‘if not for PK and BJP, YS Jagan would have become the CM of Andhra Pradesh. Yes, if TDP did not come into an alliance with BJP, and Pawan Kalyan has not supported this alliance, YS Jagan would have become the CM in 2014.

Because of ‘Mithra Dharma’, we have been silent on TDP. It will not be the same anymore. I exposed the ‘Vishakhapatnam Land Scam’ issue. It is because of me, a special investigation team has been ordered. Corruption by the TDP leaders has become rampant in the state’.
Speaking on Vishakhapatnam Railway Zone issue, Vishnu Kumar Raju said, ‘I am very confident that, Railway Zone will be approved to Vishakhapatnam’.

Prof Nageshwar – TDP No confidence motion is a damage control exercise

Prof Nageshwar – TDP No confidence motion is a damage control exercise


A day after TDP lost the initiative and forced to extend the support to YSR Congress sponsored no- confidence motion on the question of special status TDP moved its own no-confidence motion. Now, it is a strange political spectacle that YSR Congress and TDP are moving separate no-confidence motions though aimed at similar purpose. Thus, is the political manoeuvring to reap the maximum mileage from people’s sentiment. As the YSR Congress preponed its decision to move the no-confidence motion , Naidu hurriedly took the decision to pull out of NDA. Earlier he has only withdrew his ministers.

In fact, the decision of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has precipitated the exit of TDP from NDA. Thus, he was compelled to extend support to YSR congress sponsored no-confidence motion while accusing Jagan of indulging in politics of surrender, Naidu told the Assembly that he would still support the no-confidence motion in the interests of Andhra Pradesh. But, he soon realised the strategic blunder in it and retreated from his stand.

The TDP has not only moved its own no-confidence motion, but, is now non committal on supporting the YSR Congress sponsored move.

Interestingly, the opposition YSR Congress agreed to support even the TDP sponsored motion. However, senior leader of TDP, Kambhampati Ram Mohan Rao refused to give any commitment when he was pinned down by this author in a television debate on whether or not the TDP would also support YSR Congress moved motion. Such a diabolical stand is despite Naidu himself announcing that his party would not even hesitate to support the Jagan’s motion.

This indicates a sudden and swift change in the TDP strategy after realising that it lagged behind in the politics of no-confidence.

In fact, the TDP was also caught on the wrong foot even on the question of special status when it disowned the demand and accepted Centre’s offer of special package in lieu of special status.

Chandrababu Naidu is using his political clout to rally more support than what the YSR congress MPs could mobilise. The TDP has two additional advantages. It has more strength than the YSR Congress in Lok Sabha. The TDP left the NDA and thus became cynosure of national politics. Besides, the TDP supremo was instrumental in heralding United Front government at the Centre. He has worked with most of the regional and smaller parties in both United Front and National Front. He also has rapport with several NDA allies of BJP as he was the lifeline of Vajpayee government. Taking advantage of his political contacts, Naidu swiftly moved to frustrate YSR Congress and take a lead in the political chess around no-confidence. The BJP is also concentrating its attack on TDP giving latter additional advantage to dominate the no-confidence discourse.

Thus, despite several political somersaults and initial strategic deficits, Chandrababu Naidu could plunge into action on Friday in an obvious bid to control the damage.

Congress ready to ally with ‘all like-minded parties’ to defeat BJP

Congress ready to ally with ‘all like-minded parties’ to defeat BJP

The Congress on Saturday expressed its willingness to ally “with all like-minded parties” with a “pragmatic approach” to defeat the Narendra Modi government in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The political resolution, adopted at the party’s plenary here, talked of evolving a common workable programme to defeat the Bharatiya Janta Party-Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the next general elections.

The Congress spelled out its stance amid renewed efforts for opposition unity following the BJP’s defeat in crucial Uttar Pradesh and Bihar Lok Sabha by-elections.

“Congress will adopt a pragmatic approach for cooperation with all like-minded parties and evolve a common workable programme to defeat the BJP-RSS in the 2019 elections,” the resolution said.

The Bahujan Samaj Party had supported arch-rival Samajwadi Party candidates in Uttar Pradesh’s Gorakhpur and Phulpur seats. The SP-BSP front trounced the BJP in a shocking outcome amidst suggestions that opposition parties should put up joint candidates against the BJP-led NDA in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

The resolution, however, remained silent on the leadership of the grouping of like-minded parties but emphasised on the role of “a resurgent Congress” in winning back the idea of India.

“The 84th Plenary of the Congress gives a clarion call to its rank and file to rise to the occasion to defend the foundational values of our republic and constitutional democracy.

“A resurgent Congress alone shall win back the idea of India as envisioned by the founding fathers of our nation.”

The Congress had stitched an alliance to oust the first National Democratic Alliance government-led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2004.

The resolution said all sections have been “betrayed” by the BJP-led government and core constitutional values were under attack.

“Under the BJP regime, the people of India – farmers, khet mazdoors, workers in the unorganised sector, self-employed, manual labourers, Dalits, minorities, traders, unemployed youth and the poor have been betrayed.

“Today, our core constitutional values are under attack. Our freedoms are in jeopardy. Our Institutions are under stress and their independence compromised. Our Republic must be protected at all costs,” it said.

The resolution said the Congress was prepared to make whatever sacrifices required to defend the ethos of the Constitution.

“We will purge the polity of the aberrations witnessed during the BJP regime, which has failed to honour its commitments to the people of India.”

It said the Congress was proud of its illustrious history, legacy and remains the party that truly represents India – multi-cultural, multilingual and multi-religious.

“Congress Party is committed to serve people of India at a time when the country stands at a crossroad as it faces the threat posed by authoritarian, divisive and disruptive forces,” it said.

Pawan burning all bridges too early?

Janasena chief Pawan who recently fired salvos at ruling TDP and its leaders spoke to national media yesterday. After listening to what he spoke one gets a doubt whether he is burning all the bridges too early. He already “burned the bridge” connecting with TDP, now he did the same with BJP too.

Pawan Kalyan, while speaking to national media, ruled out any alliance with the BJP in Andhra Pradesh. After targeting TDP during his speech , Pawan Kalyan has once again targeted Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his son whom he has accused of “indulging in widespread corruption”. While speaking about any possible alliance with BJP, he told, “Currently, the image of the BJP in the state is completely negative. Nobody in his right frame of mind will partner with the BJP at this time.” Though it is good to see Pawan clearly saying he will not allign with BJP (at the moment), one gets a doubt whether he is burning all the bridges too early.

Generally politicians always keep their options open though they criticize other parties. Babu kept his option with NDA till last moment. Jagan keeping doors open with Congress and BJP. But it seems, Pawan is burning good Bridges too early. With his meeting speech, now he can’t align with TDP. Now he gave clarity about BJP also. While Chiranjeevi failed due to his overtly passive nature, Pawan seems to be showing unnecessary aggression and burning all political Bridges too early.

AP BJP leaders to fly to Delhi tomorrow!

The Bharatiya Janata Party has joined the game. For the last two weeks, it has been either TDP or YSRCP MPs all the way. Though Arun Jaitley and a couple of BJP leaders did make controversial comments, the Andhra MPs were the ones who actively participated.

With things going out of the board, and TDP exiting NDA alliance, it looks like BJP has realized it needs to put an end to all this. At this juncture, the AP BJP leaders, MP Kambhampati Hari Babu, MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju, and MLC Somu Veerraju received a call from the BJP High Command.

The AP BJP leaders will fly to New Delhi tomorrow morning. Close sources confirmed that BJP leaders will share key insights about the latest political developments in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Kadapa Steel Plant, Vishakhapatnam Railway Zone, AP Revenue Deficit, and other aspects are likely to be a part of the meeting between AP BJP leaders and BJP High Command.

At the same time, AP BJP leaders will also be giving a clear picture of BJP’s position in the state. Even people opinion on BJP, amid recent political developments, is likely to be discussed in Delhi tomorrow.

BJP behind Pawan Kalyan ?

After Pawan Kalyan fired salvos on ruling TDP and Nara Lokesh, political events are changing so fast in the state. In fact, as one BJP leader quoted, “There has been high-drama in AP politics in last one month”. Recent in this one is TDP suspecting BJP and Modi-Amit Shah duo behind Pawan Kalyan and his comments.

Chandra Babu himself expressed this doubt and commented “Unfortunately, there are some very big heads behind all this and they are trying to weaken TDP party”. Moreover common man is also getting a doubt about BJP behind Pawan’s comments. Pawan’s allegations of linking Shekhar Reddy with Lokesh is definitely a new allegation and even Sakshi media or YSRCP party who always keep a tab on Lokesh and all other TDP leaders never did this allegation. So, as per common man, even if this allegation is true – there is no way that Pawan can know this information unless some BJP leaders that too at top position passed this information to him.

Moreover, there is new information doing rounds in media circles that Pawan is soon (maybe in a month or two) meeting Ram Madhav, one of the disciples of Amit Shah who mainly involves in sketching and executing electioneering strategies of BJP. Common people remembers Tammareddy Bharadwaja’s video that he released more than a month back as the current sequence of events are almost in sync with what he said in that video.

New twist: TDP to move NC motion instead of supporting YSRCP’s

YSRCP is planning to move no confidence motion on Modi’s government. Until yesterday everyone thought, TDP is planning to support no confidence motion moved by Jagan. But as per the latest reports, TDP planning to move no confidence motion by itself instead of supporting YSRCP’s no confidence motion.

As TDP is still part of NDA alliance, it can not move no confidence motion on the government. But today, Chandra Babu decided to officially bid good bye to NDA. He asked MP Thota Narasimham to give notice for no confidence motion on Union government. In teleconference held with MPs today, Chandra Babu opined why should they support the motion moved by A-1 in financial crimes.

However, it seems Chandra Babu dillydallying a lot on how to respond on no confidence motion. Until 3 days back, Chandra Babu’s stand was not to support YSRCP’s no confidence motion. But yesterday, TDP decided to support YSRCP’s motion.Even major news papers this morning covered the news saying TDP will support YSRCP’s no confidence motion. However, now again CBN changed his mind and asked TDP MPs to move no confidence motion by themselves. YSRCP MP YV Subba Reddy has already given notice in this regard yesterday.

So it will be interesting to see if YSRCP’s notice (that was given first) is considered will TDP support it and viceversea.

BJP leaders failed to understand me – Annoyed CBN

AP CM Chandrababu Naidu expressed that he was gravely upset and annoyed, given the behaviour of AP BJP leaders. ‘Even a common man is able to understand what I’m trying to communicate. But the (AP) BJP leaders failed to understand,’ said CBN in the AP Assembly.

CBN made these comments, expressing his dissatisfaction over BJP MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju attitude towards the State Government. ‘Don’t you feel sad after losing money, for which you worked for 60 years? Vishnu Kumar Raju is telling that, it is only because of the Centre’s support, development (residual) Andhra Pradesh is taking place.

If that is the case, then he should answer, why the states under BJP Governance are not registering double-digit growth rate?’ questioned Chandrababu Naidu.

The AP CM became emotional, mentioning about the comments passed by BJP leaders on AP new capital, Amaravati. ‘You are heckling the capital as ‘Dream City’, right? Isn’t is the Central Government’s responsibility to cooperating for the construction of the capital city? Why is the Centre not giving funds to Andhra Pradesh, while giving funds to Mumbai and Bangalore?’ said Chandrababu.
He mentioned about the Centre sanctioning Rs 17,000 crores to Bangalore Metro in this context.

TDP to bring out booklet on Centre’s injustice to Andhra

The TDP, which has pulled out its two ministers from the Modi government, is now gearing up to expose the raw deal meted out by the Centre to Andhra Pradesh since the bifurcation of the state.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is bringing out a booklet highlighting what the Centre had promised in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 and what was promised by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Parliament and what the Centre had actually done in the last four years.

The Telugu version of the booklet titled “What Justice Did Centre do to Andhra Pradesh? What Happened to Promises Made in Parliament?” is reportedly ready.

A party source said the book is also being translated into Hindi and English for wide circulation among the political parties across the country.

The 50-page booklet touches upon promises made including Polavaram irrigation project, special category status for the state (promised by then Prime Minister in Rajya Sabha), building of world class capital at Amaravati and various other projects.

It also talks about the failure of the Centre to implement what was promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the 2014 election campaigns.

The exercise indicates the further widening of the gap between the TDP and the BJP.

On Thursday, the TDP withdrew its two Central Ministers P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju (Civil Aviation) and Y.S. Chowdary (Minister of State for Science and Technology) from the government, protesting the refusal of the Centre to oblige its demands for grant of special category status to Andhra Pradesh along with some other benefits.

BJP Ministers Kamineni Srinivas (Medical and Health) and P. Manikyala Rao (Endowments) also resigned from the Chandrababu Naidu government the same day.

Analysis: Tripura result, Some interesting observations.

Yesterday, Viplav Dev sworn-in as Tripura Chief minister as BJP got clean majority in the state. Many analysts termed it landslide victory and BJP hailed it historical feat as they could destroy communist bastion this time. However, one can see some interesting observations if we go through the statistics of election results.

Tripura has total 60 seats. Whichever party wins 31 seats will form the government. BJP got 35 seats, ruling CPM got only 16 seats. Other regional party got 8 seats and 1 seat is still vacant. So BJP formed the government. However, number of votes received by various parties are as below:

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – 999,093 votes (43%)
Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) – 992,575 votes (42.7%)

This means, out of total 2,279,875 votes, BJP got just 6518 votes more than the CPM party. That is 0.3% more than the runner-up party. Of course, electioneering is a complex subject and number of votes and the translated number of seats never have a linear relationship. But still, somebody calling its complete destruction of communist bastion is not correct. It is also to be remembered, the 9th largest party All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) got 6989 votes with 0.3% vote percentage. Congress stood at 4th place with 1.8%. So any simple combination of alliances could have done sufficient damage to BJP. All in all, BJP was successful in making sure such alliances did not happen.

BJP leader Purandeswari counter silences TDP & Co.!

BJP leader Daggubati Purandeswari’s counter left the TDP leaders speechless. Addressing a special press meet, Purandeswari put Chandrababu and TDP party in a fix. Her comments clearly hinted that it is the TDP government that is playing the blame game, and their no fault of the Centre.

‘Did the Centre ever tell that it will not release or reimburse funds? Telugu people should very well know what the Centre has been doing for Andhra Pradesh. Almost all the commitments in the AP Reorganization Act 2014 are being fulfilled step-by-step. Don’t you know it is impossible to construct an IIT or an IIM in 2-3 years? They are Centre-backed institutions, and the Central government will take care of it.

Why are TDP and state media only bragging about a couple of unfulfilled promises? Minister Nitin Gadkari himself announced over Rs 49,000 crores for Ring Road in Amaravati, and Amaravati – Anantapur connecting road. Why is no one talking about that? Is it possible to build a capital like Delhi in 5-10 years?

Land acquisition, and submitting DPR is the job of the state government. The Centre has no issues whatsoever to release funds if the AP Govt. submits all the necessary information on time. I invite all the media personnel, and the people of Vijayawada and Guntur, to come and see what structures have been built in Amaravati so far.

The Centre has been highly positive in each and every aspect when it came towards the development of Andhra Pradesh,’ said Purandeswari.

With a single press meet, the former MP has surely pushed TDP in a defence.

JC Diwakar Reddy – Triple Talaq between TDP and BJP!

TDP MP JC Diwakar Reddy, who is famous for his sensational statements, once set the stage on fire. Speaking to the media outside the Parliament, the MP stated that, there is absolutely no point in going and meeting the PM repeatedly.

He further added that ‘nothing will happen even if the Cabinet Ministers resign, or the MPs resign.
Triple Talaq took place between TDP and BJP. They are like wife and husband. For the welfare of the child, the state of Andhra Pradesh, TDP leaders meeting Modi & Team is obvious.

We will continue to support NDA, keeping the interests of the state in mind. TDP is ready for a tug of war with BJP in the upcoming elections.’

Talking about the YSRCP MPs protests outside the parliament, JC Diwakar Reddy said, ‘they are just doing drama out here. They want to defame TDP party and AP CM Chandrababu Naidu. I am ready to resign as MP. Are the YSRCP MPs ready to resign? I demand them to resign and come on to the roads. Vijay Sai Reddy should first resign, followed by others.’
