HYDERABAD: While indirectly signalling a tie-up with Congress in Telangana, TDP national president and AP chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday played safe on the issue. Naidu, who came to the city on Saturday held discussions with Telangana Telugu Desam leaders and authorised state unit to take a decision that would benefit the party and state.Speaking at NTR Trust Bhavan, Naidu attacked BJP and spared TRS. Naidu said, “The BJP-led NDA has done injustice to both Telugu states. Telangana leaders should unitedly fight in elections against BJP. I will back the TDP Telangana leadership. Party should act, according to public opinion. State TDP leadership will decide what has to be done for the good of the party. There is growing interest to contest. Though all won’t get seats, they should work towards strengthening the party in Telangana.”Naidu said, “The party cadre is dedicated. Strengthening TDP in Telangana is a historical necessity. I did not say anything on division of state. We moved a no-confidence motion against Modi government for not solving problems post-bifurcation in both states. People have lost confidence in the banking system in the Modi regime due to corruption. Soon petrol prices will touch Rs 100 and rupee value too has tumbled.”“We will fight for ideology in Telangana, not power. BJP is trying to crush rivals. What happened to BJP’s claim that black money will be distributed to the people,” Naidu asked. He said either by tomorrow or day after, the TTDP party will decide on how to go about elections in Telangana.Asked about electoral tie ups, Telangana TDP president L Ramana told TOI: “KCR has dissolved the assembly without reason. TDP is strong in Telangana as cadre is still with the party though some leaders have left. Without TDP support, no party can come to power in Telangana. KCR has been criticising TDP as an Andhra party. Did KCR forget he was once an elected TDP MLA and worked as minister and deputy speaker? TDP is not an Andhra party, it is a party for everyone. To end KCR rule, we will go along with all others.”Political observers said TDP is trying to test the alliance with Congress in Telangana. Due to the anti-Congress sentiment prevailing in Andhra, Naidu doesn’t want himself to be in the forefront for the talks with Congress as it may have an impact on AP elections. Congress and TDP alliance in Telangana is aimed at consolidating BC votes and Andhra origin voters.
