VIJAYAWADA: Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party BJP ) has absolute majority in the Lok Sabha to lead the Union government and hence the amount of pressure applied by the state government is not enough to get the central support.Interacting with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders during the party coordination meeting, Naidu said,“BJP has a clear majority though it is in coalition with TDP. Will the no-confidence motion against the Modi government in such a scenario will serve the interests of the state?”Naidu said if the centre is dependent on TDP MPs for its survival, pressure can be built on it. All parties should wage a united fight, he said. Expressing his dissatisfaction with the BJP, he said “The Congress has ruined the state with unscientific bifurcation. Then, we hoped the BJP will do justice. But it is also going the same way. The people of the state are of the view that none of the two national parties has done justice to the state.”Naidu also sought to know if special status was given to other states why is not extended to Andhra Pradesh. He further said as the Centre had informed that the 14th Finance Commission had recommended that special status is not possible, the AP government had agreed to special package. But, the Union government should honour the promise, he said.However, he reiterated that the TDP’s agenda is to fight for special category status or package and ramp up support for it. He objected to the state BJP leaders criticising the state government instead of trying to get the support from the Union government.Naidu advised the party rank and file not to indulge in personalised attack on anyone in the process of criticising the other parties. Meanwhile, TDP sources said that though no-confidence motion proposed by Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has put the party in an uneasy situation, he asked the TDP leaders not to criticise him openly.
