Chandrababu Naidu’s old criticisms of Modi resurface online

With 240 seats secured, the Bharatiya Janata Party is falling short of a majority on its own and is heavily dependent on its alliance partners, including Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)], to reach the 272-seat majority needed to form the government. Amidst this scenario,  old videos and tweets by Naidu criticizing the Modi government is going viral on social media platforms, stirring discussions online.

“Modi has systematically destroyed prestigious institutions of India. In BJP govt’s rule, institutional autonomy and democracy have been under attack. From CBI to RBI, even a constitutional authority like the Election Commission was not spared,” read the tweet from Naidu,



which was posted on April 16, 2019, right after the AP Assembly elections at that time.

“Modi-Shah govt has betrayed the nation. The public mandate that brought them to power also has the strength to overthrow them. If BJP tries to victimize our leaders and harass the public, it will pay a heavy price. We will fight fearlessly to save democracy. #UnitedIndiaAtBrigade (sic),” Naidu said in an other tweet.

“We want to send this message across loud & clear, all efforts by BJP to attack the Indian democracy will be met with a strong opposition. People must understand that any leader will do better than PM Modi ji. BJP govt has let the people of this country down in all possible ways. (sic), he wrote in an other tweet.
