Never think Jagan Reddy’s party, Congress are different: PM Modi in Andhra
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the Congress and the YSR Congress party led by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy are the same.
Addressing a public rally in Andhra’s Palnadu, PM Modi stated, “Never think that Jagan’s party and Congress are two different parties. Both are the same”.
His remark came a day after the dates for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the state were announced. The polling for the two elections will be held simultaneously on May 13.
The Prime Minister slammed the Andhra Pradesh government led by Jagan Mohan Reddy and said the ministers of the state are “competing in corruption”. The people of Andhra Pradesh are angry with the state government and feel betrayed by them, he added.
They have decided they will bring back the NDA government in the Centre,” said PM Modi.
He also slammed the Congress and said the party has only one agenda, which is to “use and throw the people of the alliance” while the NDA “takes everyone along”.
The Prime Minister alleged that Congress has “always insulted the pride of Andhra Pradesh” while the NDA government “always respected” the state.
“The NDA government conferred the Bharat Ratna to PV Narasimha Rao, the son of the land of Telugu. Congress had insulted him,” said PM Modi. He added that the BJP and the NDA rise above party lines and always respect the leaders who are dedicated to the country.
