With the election campaign in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh ending at 5 pm on 9 April, the leading lights of the political parties seem to be losing their cool. Andhra Pradesh chief minister and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday called YSRCP chief Jaganmohan Reddy and TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao the "pet dogs of Modi".

Naidu hit back during his campaign in Machilipatnam calling KCR and Jaganmohan Reddy, the “pet dogs of Narendra Modi”. Naidu said, “Shameless Jaganmohan Reddy is eating dog biscuits, he is distributing them to us also. Jagan and KCR are pet dogs for Modi, they will be at his feet for a single biscuit. Jagan is going to share those biscuits with you too, beware.”

He also accused BJP and TRS of funding YSRCP's political campaigns and said they will not be able to win votes in the state despite spending crores. KCR and Naidu have had the worst of political relations. In December 2018, KCR had described Naidu as “the dirtiest politician”. He accused him of changing his friends as per his convenience. The controversial remarks by Naidu have come at a time when the electoral battle is at its peak in the state.
