Amaravati: Taking exception to the Prime Minister addressing him Sunday as ‘father of Lokesh’ at a rally in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu launched a counter-offensive by dragging Narendra Modi’s wife into the row.
“You have estranged your wife. Do you have any respect in the family system,” Naidu asked Modi. The TDP president said he loved his family and respected it. He said the Prime Minister did not have a family or a son.
“Since you have referred to my son, I am mentioning about your wife. People, do you know Narendra Modi has a wife? Her name is Jashodaben,” Naidu told a public meeting at Vijayawada.
The Chief Minister also continued his outburst at the Prime Minister, accusing him of ruining the country and all the systems.
Naidu, who had earlier welcomed demonetisation when it was announced November 8, 2016, now called it a ‘mad Tughlaq act’. “They scrapped Rs 1000 currency note but brought in Rs 2000 note. How will corruption end,” he asked.
Naidu alleged the opposition YSR Congress mobilized crowds for the Prime Minister’s meeting at Guntur as the BJP has totally ‘lost’ public support in the state.
“Modi’s AP tour is an utter flop. BJP should realise that people registered their protest by not attending Modi’s meeting,” Naidu stated.
“The Prime Minister claims to be a chaiwala but look at his suits and boots….,” the Chief Minister added.
