Would've won 15 more seats if TDP hadn't allied with 'liar' BJP: AP CM

Guntur, Mar 30(PTI): Amid the ongoing tussle between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) regarding special status for Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu claimed that if his party had not allied with the former, they would have won 15 more seats.

"Post bifurcation, we had tied up with the BJP. It was not for political gain, but solely with the intention of development. Had we not allied with the BJP, we would have won 15 more seats. They have cheated us on the special status front," Naidu said at the TDP's 37th formation day celebrations here on Thursday.

The TDP chief also accused the Centre of "spreading lies" regarding the quashing of the special category status for states.

"They (BJP) said the special category status is quashed. But even now, its benefits are being given to North-Eastern states. Then why are they not giving it to us? It is our right. The Centre is spreading lies," he said.

On March 16, the TDP reached a deadlock with the BJP over the issue of granting 'special category status' to Andhra Pradesh, which ultimately forced the party to quit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition.

The TDP and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) also wrote to the Lok Sabha Secretary-General for moving a motion on 'No-Confidence in the Council of Ministers' in the House.

On Tuesday, the YSRCP announced that their MPs would resign from Lok Sabha and asked the TDP MPs to follow the suit over the issue of special status.

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will camp in New Delhi on April two and three to meet leaders of various political parties and seek their support for the demand of special status to the state.

TDP sources on Thursday said the chief minister would confer with all non-BJP parties to explain the "injustice" done to Andhra Pradesh post-bifurcation and how the NDA government "failed" to honour the promises made in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.

Already, the TDP MPs have handed over a letter written by Naidu to leaders of various parties and sought their support in the state's fight for its rights.

    No. Situation then was different and now it is different. He is very unlikely to go back to the BJP unless he is given what he wants for AP. All small regional parties are fearful that BJP with all their money and muscle power will easily swallow them in the next assembly elections and they might become extinct as they have presence only in their state with may be a little scattering here and there in other states. If the BJP could beat the Congress in all but just 3 states nation wide with their 'special methods' don't you think it would be easy for BJP to beat small regional parties in other Indian states using those same methods with the exception of may be a Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Bengal ???
    Hence regional parties like SP, BSP, JDU, TDP, TRS, NCP, Shiv Sena etc. are waking up to this reality and fighting to avoid becoming extinct.

    He left NDA due to political compulsions in AP. If not TDP, then YSRC will cosy up to NDA. Eventually in current scenario, both parties are required by BJP only in RS, not otherwise.

    However Naidu has always been a treacherous man, even went against his own father in Law to sieze power, he's a modern Aurangzeb, LOL!

    BRITISH RULE WAS THE GOLDEN ERA IN THE INDIAN HISTORY.
    1. British prevented India from becoming BarbarianIslamicRepublicOfIndia (BIRI) by ending forced conversions to Izzlam by crushing Moslem domination by 1800 and unifying over 550 princely states into a single entity.
    2. British, by ending rule of Mozlems (who killed 600 mil HHIndus over 1200 yrs) liberated HHindus from 1200-yrs of subjugation and gave them religious freedom.
    3. British built excellent dams, bridges, railways, roads, gave equitable Justice system, modern education system by opening many universities and colleges, etc which rapidly improved the living and intellectual standards of common people. British modern medical services reduced death rate and increased life-span.
    4. English language helped India to become a tech & educational superpower in the world today, in spite of some shortcomings.
    5. Indians were mired in ignorance, superstitions, casteism, etc. British rule considerably weakened the barbaric caste-system and superstitions, though remnants of the system remain.
    6. Indians live in delusion—believing ancient Indian culture & knowledge were superior, literacy 90% in 2000 BC, everyone was prosperous & living 300 yrs each, Indian economy was 27% of world economy in 1700, etc. These are all lies invented to fool Indians. Before the British, Indians were living in pathetic conditions.
    INDIANS SHOULD DEVELOP PRAGMATIC, PROGRESSIVE & FORWARD-LOOKING ATTITUDE ...
