Andhra Pradesh: TDP turncoats are deceiving BJP, alleges Minister Merugu Nagarjuna

The political leaders who have switched their loyalties from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are deceiving the latter and it is only a matter of time before they pay for their deeds, Minister for Social Welfare Merugu Nagarjuna has said.

“Even if the TDP, the Jana Sena and the BJP manifest into a group, they cannot defeat Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy as he enjoys the people’s support,” the Minister told the media here on June 13 (Tuesday).

Asked about the partial declaration of the TDP’s election manifesto, Mr. Nagarjuna said that TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu did know the sanctity of a manifesto. “Mr. Naidu erased the poll promises from the public domain after the TDP won the 2014 elections. But the YSRCP has fulfilled a majority of promises made to the people in the run-up to the 2019 elections,” he said.
