Be on my side, Naidu asks Pawan

Kuppam (Chittoor dt): In a significant development that might change the dynamics of state politics, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who was a bitter critic of Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan till now, has invited him to join hands with him in his fight against the BJP for securing justice for the state.

Speaking at a public meeting in his Kuppam constituency organised to mark the inauguration of the sixth edition of state wide Janmabhoomi Maavooru (JBM) programme on Wednesday, the AP Chief Minister said that he wants Pawan Kalyan to be on his side since he had also been maintaining that the Centre had betrayed the trust of the people of the state and had even constituted a fact-finding committee to ascertain as to what had been delivered by the Centre and what was still due.

He said that it would be appropriate if Pawan Kalyan strengthens his hands to intensify the struggle to save the state. "The fight I am spearheading against the Centre is neither for me nor for my family but for the people of the state,” he said.

Naidu, however, continued his virulent attack on YSRCP chief YS Jaganmohan Mohan Reddy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao who, he said, had joined hands to conspire against him.

"Modi is determined to wreak vengeance against me after I intensified fight against him through Dharma Poratams conducted 11 times to build a strong public opinion against Modi.

Naidu said that TRS chief Chandrashekar Rao is training guns at him afraid that his people will turn against him after watching how he (Naidu) had been navigating the state through choppy waters, making it clock growth in all sectors and providing corruption-free service to the people.

Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is anxious to get off the CBI hook, is prostrating before Modi, Naidu said.
