Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N. Chandrababu Naidu has welcomed Jana Sena party founder Pawan Kalyan’s call to people to vote the party which is capable of building a good capital city to residuary Andhra Pradesh.
Speaking after admitting YSR Congress party Narsapuram parliamentary constituency in-charge C. Ranganatha Raju, party’s former president of West Godavari district Moses Raju and cine actress Sana here on Friday, Mr. Naidu said it was the TDP that had the proven track record of transforming Hyderabad into an international destination.
The TDP would construct a better capital city than Hyderabad for the residuary Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Naidu said and urged the Election Commission to announce results of local bodies’ polls ahead of general elections so that people could know the strength and weaknesses of all parties.
Later in the day, president of AP Backward Classes’ Welfare Association R. Krishnaiah joined TDP along with his supporters. Mr. Krishnaiah said they would strive for 50 per cent quota to BCs in the law-making bodies if TDP was voted to power.
Mr. Naidu said it was only the TDP that was committed to empower BCs and the party’s decision to make a BC Chief Minister in Telangana, if voted to power, was an indication of it.
