‘Uniting to save nation’: Chandrababu Naidu, Rahul Gandhi join hands


Update:

New Delhi, Nov 1(Agencies): With just a month left for Telangana to go to polls, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday met Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Following the meeting, the Gandhi scion said, "We had a very good meeting, the gist was that we have to defend democracy and future of the country. So we are coming together to work, all opposition forces must unite."

Speaking on the same, the TDP supremo said, "We are coming together, to save the nation. We have to forget the past, now it is a democratic compulsion to unite. All opposition needs to be one."

Chandrababu Naidu has been trying to unite the opposition parties to take on the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Centre in the Lok Sabha elections scheduled to be held next year.

 

The meeting comes amid seat-sharing talks between the two parties for the upcoming Assembly elections.

Earlier in the day, the TDP president met NCP chief Sharad Pawar and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah in the national capital.

Naidu 'coincidentally' also met senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here and briefly discussed the need to bring all non-BJP political parties together.

Naidu meets Sharad Pawar and Farooq Abdullah, says protecting future of nation

New Delhi, Nov 1(Zee News): Amid reports of building a unified Opposition, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telegu Desam Party supremo Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday claimed that all his plans are centred around protecting the nation.

Naidu's comments came moments after his meeting with Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar and National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah.

“We decided to meet in Delhi to chalk out a plan to protect the future of the nation,” he said.

Naidu is expected to meet Congress president Rahul Gandhi later in the day for alliance talks ahead of December 7 Assembly elections in Telangana and 2019 national elections.

According to TDP sources, Naidu will meet Gandhi at his residence around 3:30 pm and iron out seat-sharing details.

This is the TDP chief's second visit to New Delhi in less than a week, who aims to bring together all opposition parties on a common platform.

He earlier called on Aam Admi Party leader and Delhi Chief Minister Aravind Kejriwal, Loktantrik Janata Dal chief Sharad Yadav and BSP leader Mayawati on Saturday.

The TDP chief is playing the role of a "facilitator" to bring together all opposition parties to stop the BJP juggernaut in the 2019 general elections, a party leader said.

    When you're sinking, there is an attempt to clutch at anything for life support. This is the position of Naidu in AP.
    Also Jagan's YSRC is at his throat and this cunning shrewd opportunistic politico is now falling at feet of his once most vociferous enemies.

    United we stand & divided we fall. Now liberal minded party's must unite for the sake of country and for the decimation of BJP and allies!!! Whatever your disagreement on regional politics, all liberals must unite on National level without caste discrimination under UPA for a Prosperous and Economically strong India.

    Opposition party’s wish and determination in the present situation to fight unitedly and save our Nation. This is the testing time. Forget your differences and join hands to rectify the present critical situation or else, we all have to cry one day. Modi has shown his true colour and attitude towards common man and the Nation. It’s not PM governing India but it is RSS who are controlling our PM. He is not worried about the farmers but he is soaring high with pride of building tallest Statue with tax and revenue collected from public.

    Mr Naidu,
    Your double game is already known to whole country,
    Don't say your interest is to save nation.
    You are only concerned to protect your own interest and interest of your own state.
    The vary reason for your revolt against center itself speaks what kind of interest you are having.
    Don't lie to nation.
