VIJAYAWADA: Andhra Pradesh chief minister and

(TDP) president

on Friday said he successfully fanned the anti-Modi wave across the country by bringing non-BJP opposition parties onto a common platform.

Addressing party leaders during a review of TDP’s performance in the recent elections, Naidu said he created an alternative to the BJP at the national level.

“We have brought unity among non-BJP opposition parties at the national level. We have created an alternative to the BJP. We have successfully intensified the anti-Modi wave across the country,” Naidu said, adding that Prime Minister

is frustrated as he is “sure of losing” power.

Fearing defeat at the hustings, Modi has been “talking in frustration”, Naidu said. “He has lowered his dignity. Instead of telling people what he has done in the last five years as the prime minister, Modi is raking up past events. He is talking about former prime minster Rajiv Gandhi, who passed away 26 years ago,” he said.

The Telugu Desam Party chief predicted that a new Prime Minister will be elected after the general elections. “The days of Modi are over. He will not come to power again. Indian politics has lost dignity because of Modi,” he alleged.

Naidu further said that Modi resorted to politics of vindictiveness and intimidation to create fear among opposition leaders by conducting income tax and ED raids.

“There is no knowledge economy in Modi’s Gujarat. The Gujarat model of development is a failure. Gujarat does not figure in the human resources development index. Gujarat model is but a vacuum created by Modi,” he said, adding that Hyderabad is far ahead of Ahmedabad on all aspects of development and progress.

Asserting that the downfall of Modi began when he created hurdles for the development of Andhra Pradesh and parted ways with the TDP, Naidu said the TDP distance itself from the BJP only for the development of the state.
