Arvind says BJP has bright future in AP

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: BJP MP from Nizamabad, Dharmapuri Arvind, said on Thursday that the party has a bright future in Andhra Pradesh and could put up a good show in the next general elections in 2024. “Though the ruling YSR Congress and the opposition Telugu Desam are rivals to the BJP, it would be clear as to who would stand with whom only after the poll notification is issued,” he said. “This would affect the growth of both the states," he said, and wondered why Telangana chief minister Chandrashekar Rao was keeping quiet on the Polavaram dam’s height issue. Criticising Telugu Desam chief Chandrababu Naidu, the BJP MP said he used to be with the TD.
