BJP leader S. Vishnuvardhan Reddy on June 7 (Wednesday) took exception to the “political colour” being given to the meeting of TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and termed it as an “act done by people, media and political parties with vested interests and mala fide intention” to scuttle the chances of his party from emerging as a major force in the 2024 elections.
“The people of the State no longer have any faith in the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) or the opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP), and are looking towards the BJP for good governance,” Mr. Vishnuvardhan Reddy told the media here.
“The Chief Minister of any State, or former Chief Ministers can meet Mr. Shah and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi. And Mr. Naidu’s meeting should also be treated the same way. Mr. Naidu had extended unconditional support to the BJP in the elections of the President and the Vice-President. There is no need to read too much between the lines,” the BJP leader said.
