Grand Alliance leaders to campaign in State in support of TDP
Amaravati: National leaders of Grand Alliance will continue to visit Andhra Pradesh till April 9 to support TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu in the ongoing general elections. As the elections for AP will be held on April 11, the Election Commission of India will allow the political parties to continue campaign till April 9. Hence the TDP has planned to invite the national leaders till then to maintain political heat among the people in the State.
Already Farooq Abdullah, Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Chairman and Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Chief Minister have participated in the election campaign, urging people to vote in favour of TDP.
The other leaders like Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister, Deve Gowda, former Prime Minister, MK Stalin, president of DMK, Tejaswi Yadav of RJD and others will come and join in the election campaign, informed the sources in the TDP.
Initially, the party expected the visit of Sarad Pawar and other leaders too, but as they are also very busy in their election campaigns in their respective states, they expressed their inability to come to AP, sources added.
After completing the elections in the state, Chandrababu Naidu also will participate in the campaigning in other parts of the country, against BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. TDP has an advantage to participate in the poll campaign, as the elections of AP are scheduled to be completed in the first phase out of seven phases in the country.
TDP supremo has decided to expose the BJP in the national politics, accusing them that they betrayed the AP on many grounds. Since the TDP is facing the heat from the BJP in the state, even though they do not have proper ground, Chandrababu Naidu is also contemplating to give tough fight to BJP at national level.
Chandrababu Naidu accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP that they have been harassing TDP candidates by misusing the Central Investigation agencies like Income Tax, Enforcement Directorate and CBI.
