Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has hit out at PM Narendra Modi. He called him a "pseudo chowkidar" who protected only criminals.
The Telugu Desam Party president said at a press conference, "What right you have to call yourself a chowkidar? You are chowkidar for criminals."
The BJP on the other hand accused the Telugu Desam party president of resorting to "murky politics" as his party was frightened of losing in the April 11 Lok Sabha and State assembly polls.
The TDP chief alleged, "It’s only because the Prime Minister chose to protect (YSR Congress president) Jagan Mohan Reddy. The Telangana government also did not take steps to cancel the land allotments made in a dubious manner. All this establishes the nexus between PM Modi, K Chandrasekhar Rao and Jagan Mohan Reddy."
He further added, “Mohan Reddy has totally surrendered to Modi and KCR just to get bailed out of the cases.”
He also wondered why the ED letter was suppressed for two years while 10 and 20 year-old cases against opposition leaders were being dug out now. PM Modi and KCR owed an explanation on this.
However, the BJP leaders said, "BJP never tries to fix or threaten anyone. Prime Minister Modi has no need to protect anyone. The TDP is indulging in a mischievously false propaganda only for political gains."
