Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Venkaiah Naidu reminded the Andhra Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party leaders that the Telugu Desam Party is their ally on Saturday. He reiterated it is inapt to discuss about alliances of the next elections now.
Vishakapatnam North BJP MLA P Vishnu Kumar Raju seems to have taken the advice seriously. On one hand, he was praising TDP leader and Minister for Roads and Buildings Ch Ayyanna Patrudu for responding to the Vishaka Land Scam. He further said that had all the leaders been like Ayyanna, the state would have been developed by now. While Vishnukumar was praising one TDP leader, he attacked TDP MP Kesineni Nani and demanded him to resign immediately for his comments against BJP.
The saffron party leader did not confine himself to TDP and referring to Pawan Kalyan quoted that BJP doesn’t believe in disregarding someone after their purpose is solved. Vishnu Kumar asserted that Kalyan helped them in 2014 elections, so they will remember him till 2019. He further said that someone is misleading Kalyan on special category status and like any other BJP leader, he rehearsed that the Central government approved special package is way better than SCS. He critiqued the Jana Sena Chief for still hanging around with the SCS subject.
It is known that Kalyan is showing inclination towards left parties. On the contrary, Venkaiah asked his party leaders to ignore the communist parties and quoted the recent five-state Assembly polls where the left parties did not secure even a single seat.
Vishnu Kumar said that 2019 elections are very crucial for BJP in the state. Even Venkaiah asked the activists to strengthen the party and enlighten the people about the central government schemes. BJP doesn’t want to forget Kalyan or Chandrababu, but what about the promises to the Telugu people they have backtracked on? The saffron brigade keeps talking about special package, the answers for Kadapa steel plant, Vishaka Railway Zone, Vijayawada metro rail and all the provisions of AP re-organisation act are yet to be know.
