In the speech thanking President's address in Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has specifically mentioned about the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. The whole speech gave an impression whether PM is speaking in Parliament or during an election meeting in AP.
Mentioning about the developments during bifurcation, Modi alleged Congress Governments at centre and in the state had cheated Andhrites. He recalled how Congress had insulted AP Leaders (PM Rajiv Gandhi-CM Anjaiah episode, Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy issue) in the past.
PM pointed out there was no controversy when three new states were formed during Vajpayee regime. 'Whereas, Congress created one new state and the issues continue even after four years. This happened because of the manner in which bifurcation of United AP was carried out. For Political gains, Congress passed Telangana bill shutting the doors of Parliament and imposing restrictions on media. Neither Congress nor Nehru had ever acted in a democratic manner. It was Congress which crushed democracy in Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Kerala. Rajiv Gandhi insulted AP Dalit CM in Hyderabad. Congress committed many atrocities in AP over the past few decades. Main Opposition don't even have moral right to talk about AP. Would Mallikarjuna Kharge speak about AP bifurcation if Karnataka Assembly Polls aren't scheduled to happen anytime soon?,' he questioned.
Narendra Modi said NTR floated TDP to safeguard the self respect of Telugu People who were humiliated by the Congress rulers. 'In UPA regime, Roads were laid for 11 km per day. NDA is able to lay roads for national highways at an average of 22 km per day. We aren't discriminating between the constituencies of ours and opposition parties when it comes to development. Vajpayee Government established 1,020-km long railway line in Kharge's Bidar constituency. Kharge should tell what has he done during his term as Railway Minister. We fulfilled our promises to North-East States. It was NDA which extended Fiber Net system to most villages,' claims PM.
The speech of Prime Minister gave an impression had if Chandrababu Naidu has scripted it. Why because, those comments are in perfect sync with the stand of TDP on Congress and bifurcation issues. Is this an attempt to appease agitating TDP MPs?
