The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday accused the Telugu Desam Party of indulging in “spit-and-run politics” and carrying out “organised propaganda” against the Narendra Modi government at the Centre for political gains.BJP national spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao alleged that TDP president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu had been spreading blatant lies against the Centre ever since the TDP snapped ties with the NDA in March this year by raking up the demand for special category status to AP and accusing the BJP of hatching conspiracies against the TDP.
“He (Naidu) is trying not only to hoodwink people but also provoke them for political gains. This is opportunistic and cynical politics,” Rao said.He alleged that Naidu had no stability of thought and was spreading “falsehood” on different issues such as the financial assistance to capital city Amaravati and the special economic grant to backward districts.”How can the state government expect funds without submitting proper utilisation certificates for the money already granted?” he asked.
Rao alleged, “His (Naidu’s) only success in the last four years had been in making Andhra Pradesh the number one state in the country in corruption. India Corruption Study, an annual survey of corruption in various states, clearly established this.”
While the Centre was ready to help Andhra Pradesh by all means, the state government remained indifferent, he claimed, adding, “We are ready to implement the special (economic) assistance measures promised in September 2016. However, the state government is not coming forward to do its part, like setting up a special purpose vehicle to draw funds for different projects,” Rao said.The state government only wanted direct fund flow with an “ostensible aim of misappropriating it. We will not let that happen,” the senior BJP leader said.
