Modi has misused institutions like the ED, Intelligence Bureau, CBI, RBI and National Statistical Commission for political gains and harassing his political opponents. Modi lost his credibility by all these acts.Collection: Intelligence
My nature is to compromise and get things done for the state.
The only reason why I tied up with the BJP was that Andhra Pradesh wasn't done justice during the bifurcation.
People are losing faith in the banking system due to security issues.
People have faith in me because of my track record.
What kind of signal is Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving by closeting himself with tainted politicians and financial fraud-accused of YSR Congress undergoing trial?
I have dedicated myself to development of the state and hardly get time to spend with my family.
I don't want to claim that my government can find solutions to all the problems facing the people.
To reduce the burden on the state exchequer, we increased the price of rice. I find nothing wrong in doing so in the best interests of the people and for the overall development of the state.
Despite serious constraints, challenges, and non-cooperation from the Centre, we have managed to develop Andhra on all fronts and ensured that the state tops in national ranks on various parameters, apart from successfully attracting large-scale investments from global giants.
Modi is shielding and encouraging fraud-accused persons such as Gali Janardhan Reddy and Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy. He is encouraging fraudsters, both directly and indirectly, and thereby helping open floodgates for corruption and frauds.
Only a firm government that acts tough on fraudsters can send the right signals to the country.
I did get the opportunity to become prime minister once when TDP had 42 Lok Sabha seats. I had turned it down only in the interest of the then united Andhra Pradesh.
I'm telling you anybody is better than Narendra Modi because he won't listen to anybody.
Hyderabad is my brainchild. I have developed it with passion.
The Congress and regional parties may fight against each other in certain states, but they will get united at the national level against BJP for forming the coalition government.
In many parts of the country, like South India, people don't bother much about the nationalist passions that BJP was attempting to rouse for electoral benefits.
Modi failed miserably on most counts. He lacks the vision that a leader needs to possess and a strategy to achieve the vision and outcomes.
I am satisfied with my achievements in terms of both development and welfare. I have not only lived up to most of the expectations of people, but also surpassed some of their expectations.
The government is one entity which can control fraud, both public and private.
People should have fear of the law.
I have been responsible for so many fronts in the past: The National Front, the United Front; the UNPA, too, was created by me.
Unfortunately, though both Mahatma Gandhi and Narendra Modi hail from Gujarat, Gandhi never lied, and Modi never speaks the truth.
Modi is a disgrace to the prime minister's post.
The BJP simply does not want Andhra Pradesh to become the number one state in all development parameters and Naidu getting credit.
For Modi, India offers a great opportunity for development with excellent natural and human resources.
High-level corruption, inefficiency, non-governance, and policy paralysis have crippled the nation's economy.
I want to place the facts before the people. Tell them about the greediness of Congress and how it divided the Telugu people and destroyed the state for political gains.
Fourth industrial revolution is a deadly combination of technology and Internet of Things.
Digital economy is happening everywhere in the world.
Earlier, physical currency used to dominate. Now, mobile currency or digital currency is dominating. For digital currency, fintech is very crucial.
People look at track records now, and voters as stakeholders want ease of living and development, which is my aim.
Ultimately, I will do my best - whatever is possible - for this great nation.
I was never consulted before the bifurcation. Injustice has been done to Andhra Pradesh, which had no revenues.
I will never go to the Centre. I have never been an aspirant for any post or for any role at the Centre.
I have been in the politics for the last 40 years. I became chief minister in 1995 and worked in the NDA and UPA. I have seen it all.
I also expected a lot from Modi, like every citizen. Talking is different; delivering is important.
Demonetisation was a big flop, and its outcome was negative. The government has done nothing to get back black money.
Demonetisation is going to result in long-term gains for the country.
People always want welfare, development, and good governance. As long as you are delivering, people are with you.
At the end of the day, politics is meant to do good to the society.
My ambition is only to develop Andhra Pradesh.
Whenever there is a threat to cooperative federalism, the TDP will certainly raise its voice.
Amaravati will be a world-class capital. It will be a health and tourist destination.
People are disturbed and demoralised after bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. It is my responsibility to protect their interests and show them a direction.
