Seemandhra Will Be Country's Top State: Modi

Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Thursday promised to develop the Seemandhra region into the country's top State.

Addressing public meetings at different places in Seemandhra, Modi said that the region had more potential than Gujarat.

He promised that he would give top priority to Seemandhra if the TDP-BJP combine was voted to power.

Accusing the Congress of backstabbing Seemandhra, he also targeted the YSRCP by appealing to the people not to vote for those who looted the country as well as the State.

He asked the people to vote for TDP and BJP candidates.

Modi said that Seemandhra needed an experienced leader like TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu.

"If you do not want Scamandhra, vote for the TDP-BJP alliance to make Seemandhra, Swarnandhra," he said.

He also claimed that he and Naidu shared the same vision.

Addressing the meetings, Naidu described the BJP-TDP alliance as a necessity.

He alleged that the Congress divided the State only for votes and seats.

He also alleged that TRS Chief K Chandrasekhar Rao had no control over his words.

"If he fails to control his language, I will increase my cycle speed and crush him," he said.

Interestingly, Naidu's sister-in-law and BJP's Rajampet candidate Daggubati Purandeswari shared the dais. However, Naidu did not mention her name, although he appealed to the people to vote for the BJP's candidates.

Jana Sena Party founder Pawan Kalyan and BJP senior leader M Venkaiah Naidu also addressed the meetings. (INN)
