NDA will win 160 Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, says Naidu

According to the TDP national president, the YSRCP government has been responsible for a setback in the development of the State through its "destructive policies". Chandrababu Naidu has exhorted the voters to exercise their franchise in favor of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

Addressing a public meeting at Anakapalli near Visakhapatnam on May 6 (Monday), Mr. Naidu expressed confidence that the NDA would win 160 of the 175 Assembly seats in AP.

TDP chief said that in five years, the 'double engine sarkar' would take India from 5th to 3rd in World GDP rankings, referring to the statement PM Modi made earlier at the meeting. Mr. Naidu said that his and JSP president K. Pawan Kalyan’s dream was to achieve ‘Vikasit Andhra Pradesh’ by 2047.

“The NDA, if elected to power, will check crimes, build capital at Amaravati, complete the Polavaram and Uttarandhra Sujala Sravanthi projects, apart from protecting the Telugu language and culture,” he said.

Mr. Naidu ridiculed Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy over the A.P. Land Titling Act and for the land documents carrying the photo of the Chief Minister. He alleged that the YSRCP had looted Visakhapatnam by calling its leaders "traitors of North Andhra.".

He reiterated his promises of a 'Mega DSC', job calendars, and creating 20 lakh jobs in five years.

Describing the elections as a battle between ‘dharmam’ and ‘adharmam’ (justice and injustice), Mr. Naidu introduced the NDA candidates from north Andhra to the crowd.
