Vijayawada: Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu came down heavily on the BJP on Wednesday that completed the fifth anniversary of the passing of the AP State Reorganisation Act It was on February 20, 2014 that the Act was adopted in the Rajya Sabha facilitating the division of Andhra Pradesh to form Telangana. The Act provided several promises to help the residual state of Andhra Pradesh, but most of the promises remain unfulfilled, said Naidu.Addressing Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders through a teleconference, Naidu said the Centre has done injustice to the state. TDP workers observed a protest day to highlight the “betrayal” of the state government.Naidu alleged that the state had suffered in the last five years.“It has been five years since the five crore people of AP were cheated. Special category status and five other major promises have been forgotten. Industrial incentives are not provided. The Centre has withdrawn the assistance of Rs 350 crore to backward districts. BJP’s betrayal should be condemned and it should be debated on public fora. At least one quarter of the fiscal deficit was not paid,” Naidu alleged.Referring to pre-poll surveys, Naidu alleged that the YSRC was behind such “wrong” surveys. Primarily they seek to derive political benefit.“If someone is carrying out a survey, YSRC leaders are obstructing them. The YSRC is scared of ground level surveys. It wants to propagate false surveys. He said a few leaders are leaving the TDP as they are faced with threats, blackmailing tactics and intimidation by Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. “KCR is targeting the assets of TDP leaders in Hyderabad and encouraging them to join the YSRC,” Naidu said.About Pulwama terror incident, Naidu said the TDP will not compromise on the security of the country. The party will also not tolerate politicizing national security for selfish gains. Tough actions should be taken against terrorists, he said, demanding that law and order should be maintained on the borders.He said people suspect Pulwama attack and the nation is debating on West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's comments on the terror incident. There is threat to national security due to the inefficiency of BJP rulers.Naidu found fault with the BJP for aligning with small parties ahead of general elections. The BJP will stoop to any level for power. It wants to play a political game with states through remote control.
