Srikakulam:On Monday BJP president Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and made it clear that the doors of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) were closed forever for him. Exuding confidence that the NDA will retain power and Narendra Modi will become Prime Minister again after the 2019 elections, he predicted that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief will once again try to come into NDA fold.

He told a public meeting at Palasa town in Srikakulam district while flagging off a 'bus yatra' of state BJP President Kanna Laxminarayana that "He want to assure the people of Andhra Pradesh and BJP workers that we have closed NDA's doors forever for Naidu. He will not find a place in the alliance,"Recalling that Naidu started his political career as an MLA of Congress, the BJP chief said he always switched loyalties to enjoy power. Shah said that "He later joined the TDP formed by N.T. Rama Rao (NTR) and enjoyed power. When he got the opportunity, he betrayed NTR who had promoted him, captured power and the entire party,".

"Chandrababu Naidu kept wandering for 10 years. When he realised that he can't come to power on his own, he joined hands with Modiji and NDA. Now he has left NDA and making allegations against Modiji."The BJP chief alleged that Naidu joined hands with the Congress which had insulted Telugu people and did injustice to Andhra Pradesh.He claimed that NDA had given 10 times more help than the Congress. During the 10 years of Congress rule, Andhra Pradesh got only Rs 1.17 lakh crore while the NDA government in last five years provided Rs 5.56 lakh crore.

Shah said Naidu had welcomed the special package in the Assembly but when he realised that people were unhappy with his governance, his attempts to make his son the Chief Minister, corruption in construction of capital Amaravati and Polavaram project, he started making false allegations against the BJP to gain public sympathy.The BJP chief said both TDP and YSR Congress were parties of family rule and can't do any good to the state. He appealed to people to give a chance to BJP. Shah later interacted with BJP leaders from four Lok Sabha constituencies: Visakhapatnam, Vijayanagaram, Anakapalli and Araku.
