Opportunities, not popular support, helped Naidu become Chief Minister, says Jagan Mohan Reddy

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu had never become the Chief Minister because of his good deeds and popular support, but due to betrayal and opportunities that came his way, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said on November 17.

Mr. Naidu hardly did anything good for the people of the State, but always strived for the benefit of his community, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged while addressing a public meeting organised in connection with the distribution of Darakastu land (DKT) pattas to the farmers at Nuzvid in Eluru district.

“Mr. Naidu had become the Chief Minister by backstabbing his father-in-law and TDP founder-president N.T. Rama Rao. It was the Kargil war that had helped him become the Chief Minister again for the second time. He had tricked the people by promising them the moon to become the Chief Minister for the third time,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said.
