Bharatiya Janata Party national spokesperson G.V.L.Narasimha Rao, MP, on Monday predicted a severe drubbing for the Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh as all sections of people were ‘dissatisfied’ with its performance.
Addressing the media here, he said it had raised the bogey of Income Tax raids on its contestants afraid of defeat in the elections.
He charged the ruling TDP with spending money like water in the elections to win the polls ‘by hook or crook’.
Ruling out any alliance with the YSR Congress Party after the elections, he said his party was contesting the polls on its own and determined to build its strength in the State.
‘Prakasam neglected’
The ruling party was sure to lose even the main opposition party status and would pay a ‘heavy price’ for allegedly neglecting development of all the 13 districts. The backward Prakasam district was no exception as big ticket projects like the National Investment and Manufacturing Zone remained only on paper, he felt.
All officers responsible for the conduct of the elections should take a lesson from the transfer of former Chief Secretary Anil Chandra Punetha by the Election Commission, said Mr.Narasimha Rao, who later canvassed for the party candidate for Ongole Lok Sabha seat T. Srinivas and party nominee for Ongole Assembly seat K. Anjaneyulu.
