Narendra Modi spoke in the Lok Sabha today, on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address. During his speech, he gave substantial time to address the ongoing discussion about whether The Centre ditched AP.
Excerpts from Modi’s speech:
AP is the biggest victim of Congress’ political corruption. The party has no right to talk about the interests of AP and its people.
The Congress humiliated the first Telugu PM, PV Narasimha Rao and the then Chief Ministers Anjayya and Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy.
Legendary Telugu film star, NTR instituted Telugu Desam Party (TDP) after witnessing the evil deeds of the Congress in AP. He established TDP to fight for the ‘self respect’ of Telugu people, and to save Telugu people from the plague named, ‘Congress’. TDP took birth from the anguish of a common man.
The residual AP is now facing issues all because of the way the Congress bifurcated the united AP. The Congress bifurcated he united Telugu state into two states in the most ‘undemocratic’ way, in closed-door Parliament just keeping the 2014 elections in mind.
It is all because of the un-thoughtful division by the Congress that residual AP is facing several issues even four years after bifurcation.
We are working with TDP and still committed to the interests of AP people.
YSRCP MPs had staged a walkout from Lok Sabha even before Modi began his speech. TDP MPs on the other hand continued to protest during Modi’s speech.
