PM did not convene even one meeting between Andhra and Telangana: Naidu

Andhra Pradesh chief minister and Telugu Desam Party supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday said that prime minister Narendra Modi did not convene even one meeting to sort out issues between AP and Telangana after the two Telugu states were bifurcated in 2014. You can’t come here and talk about AP without doing anything for the state,” he stated, and censured Modi for asking the public rhetorically if they want a “scheme Andhra” or a “scam Andhra”. In the run up to the Lok Sabha polls in AP, Modi had attacked Naidu, calling him a “u-turn babu”, among other things and also alleged that the latter is corrupt. “We gave the consent in good faith, but it has lost credibility,” Naidu added, referring to the AP government withdrawing its general consent to the CBI operating in the state.
