BJYM State president N. Ramesh Naidu said on Sunday that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s mending fences with the Congress reflected his double standards and people were not fools to buy his theory that the alliance at the national level was for saving democracy.
Addressing the media here on Sunday, Mr. Ramesh Naidu said that the Chief Minister had joined the Congress-led UPA by quitting the NDA due to his compulsions, and questioned whether he could make the arch-rivals of the Congress sink their differences with it ahead of the elections.
He recalled that Mr. Naidu had during his initial stint in the Congress gone to the extent of challenging his father-in-law N.T. Rama Rao and ultimately joined the TDP after suffering an electoral defeat. He eventually took over the reins of the TDP after staging a coup against NTR, who established the party to liberate the people from the clutches of the Congress, he charged. The Chief Minister had no hesitation to cosy up to the same Congress, which was once his arch-rival.
Mr. Chandrababu Naidu had made 626 promises during the 2014 elections but failed to deliver most of them.
BJYM leaders V. Chaitanya, Ch. Venkata Krishna Reddy, P. Govind, G. Venkaiah Naidu, K. Krishna and V. Rajasekhar were present.
