Chandrababu Naidu had also met opposition Leaders including Congress President Rahul Gandhi earlier in the day to gather support to cement anti-BJP front for the Lok Sabha Polls 2019.
Naidu said there is a “democratic compulsion” for all the opposition parties to come together. However, the political compulsion of each party at the state-level will be taken into account while forming a united force to fight the saffron party in the Lok Sabha polls, he said.
Speaking on the Interim Budget, Chandrababu Naidu slammed Centre and said ‘Budget has no mention of Andhra Pradesh’ He added, How will Rs 16 per day improve the conditions of farmers? Are you giving alms to them?” Naidu asked the Centre.
