The Andhra sentiment is appealing greatly to the AP voters like never before. Is it running like an under current in the April 11 election? Probably this is the reason why TDP boss Chandrababu Naidu is making a repeated mention of how the Andhras were and are badly treated during and after the state separation. His unsparing attack on KCR is rousing the feelings of audiences at election meetings.

Naidu recalls how Andhras gave their sweat and blood by working hard for construction of modern Hyderabad for over 60 years. But KCR insults and says that the Andhras are living in Hyderabad without shame. Who will bear such humiliation and live there bearing such insults? KCR called us demons, useless dogs and so many other things, says Naidu. KCR had also made an attack on the cultural heritage of Andhras by saying their biryani is like ‘dung biryani’.

Naidu tells voters that the Telangana government has to give Rs. 1 lakh crore to AP towards its share of property. This was part of the promises made at the time of the state separation. But KCR has not given a single rupee till now. Moreover, he is harassing AP state by conspiring with Modi and Jagan, says Naidu.
