In his first direct attack on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said those in power in the state were indulging in scams. Without naming Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president, PM Modi said they were busy outside the state for forging alliance as they knew that the ground in Andhra Pradesh had shifted and they were going to be defeated in coming elections. During a video-conference with booth-level workers of BJP from four Lok Sabha constituencies in Andhra Pradesh, PM Modi said the state was looking for a change as the people were deeply angry with the present political leadership. Stating that people have not forgotten the manner in which Congress divided Andhra Pradesh, PM Modi said by joining hands with Congress, those in power in the state have rubbed salt into the wounds of the people. "What happened to this grand alliance in Telangana? They were totally rejected by the people and same is going to happen in Andhra Pradesh," said PM Modi referring to the defeat of Congress-led alliance in the last month's assembly elections in Telangana. "Those in power in Andhra Pradesh have not remained committed to their ideology. Can we expect them to be committed to people," he asked and pointed out that NT Rama Rao had founded TDP to protect the interests of Telugu people and to safeguard the Telugu pride.
