On Wednesday, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, who has been strongly opposing Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu for joining hands with the Congress, asked the people of Andhra Pradesh not to fall into the trap of Naidu. During a press conference in Vishakhapatnam along with Jana Sena Party president, Pawan Kalyan Mayawati said that the TDP had failed to develop the state which had suffered badly after the bifurcation.

“Had the previous Congress and TDP governments in the combined Andhra Pradesh concentrated on the development of all the regions, the bifurcation would not have happened. But after the bifurcation, too, nothing has been done to AP,” she alleged. She requested to the people not to fall in the trap of Chandrababu Naidu and even YSRC president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy. “I request you to give a chance to the young faces like Pawan Kalyan,” she said.

Mayawati alleged that both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress had been cheating the people. “In 2014, Narendra Modi had promised to deposition of Rs 15 lakh into every bank account of the poor people. But it did not happen. Now, Rahul Gandhi is promising the same that every bank account would get Rs 72,000 per year. Can he fulfill the promise?” she asked. She appealed to the people to see that there was no split in the anti-government votes across the country. “We shall bring the UP model of governance in Andhra Pradesh,” she asserted.
