Our flags may be different, but agenda is common, says Chandrababu Naidu with Prime Minister Modi in attendance

TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu emphasizes common welfare agenda, alliance with BJP and JSP for Andhra Pradesh development.

“Our flags may be different but we have a common agenda, which is the welfare of people,” Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu said here on Sunday.

Addressing a ‘Praja Galam’ gathering at Boppudi village, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in attendance as chief guest, Mr. Naidu said that there was “no longer any doubt that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was going to form the government, both at the Centre and in Andhra Pradesh”.

Welcoming Mr. Modi to Andhra Pradesh “on behalf of its five crore people”, the TDP supremo said that the meeting was being held to symbolically lay the platform for reconstruction of the State, and to see that the dreams of the people of the State are realised. Stating that the TDP, Jana Sena Party (JSP) and the BJP have joined hands to take the State forward, Mr. Naidu said the poll verdict that they would hand out in the coming election would decide the future of Andhra Pradesh.

Seeking the blessings of the voters for the NDA, he said that Mr. Modi is not merely an individual, but a force who is transforming India into a global power. “Mr Modi is a leader whose services are praised by almost all countries. Schemes like Awas Yojana, Ujwal Yojana and Kisan Samman have given a totally new definition for welfare,” he said.

Showering praise on JSP chief K. Pawan Kalyan, Mr. Naidu thanked him for his support and remarked that Mr. Pawan yearned for people’s progress. Observing that Mr. Modi wants to build a poverty-free nation, Mr. Naidu appealed to the people to join hands with him in this endeavour. He felt that this is the right time for ‘Viksit Bharat’ and said the whole nation, including the State, should stand by Mr Modi to achieve this.

“Mr. Modi has taken the country to a very high position in the world. Soon, India will be the No. 3 country in the world in terms of development. We will be in a commanding position to dictate to even countries like China and the United States,” Mr. Naidu felt.

Maintaining that the State has been facing several problems after bifurcation, Mr. Naidu said: “We were able to overcome certain issues but with Mr. Jagan in power in the past five years, the State has only moved backward.”
