Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu hits out at Modi
Slamming PM Modi for promising special status to the state when he was contesting as Prime Minister candidate, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu during his live conference in Delhi said,
After a raging 12-hour debate on Friday, the Narendra Modi-led NDA government defeated the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha by 199 votes. While 126 members supported the motion, 325 MPs rejected it. The day-long session in the Lower House saw the government and the Opposition trade charges and a moment of drama when Congress president Rahul Gandhi, after a blistering speech, walk over to Prime Minister and embrace him in a hug.
Terming the no-trust vote against his government a result of the Opposition’s “arrogance”, Modi had earlier called on all parties to dismiss the move and accused the Congress of working with the mindset of ‘Modi hatao’ (remove Modi). Responding to the debate on the motion, he said some people are indulging in “negative politics.” He also took a dig at Rahul Gandhi for asking him to stand up for a hug after walking across to his chair in the Lok Sabha, saying the Congress president appeared to be in a hurry to occupy his seat.
“Only the electorate of the country can decide his fate and make him sit on his chair,” Modi said, before asking, “What is the hurry?” Gandhi was present in the House when the Prime Minister made the statement.
Friday’s no-confidence motion, the 27th in Parliamentary history, was the first to be admitted in 15 years. The last was in 2003 when the Congress party moved a no-confidence motion against prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
The then prime ministerial candidate @narendramodi had promised the people of AP to build a great capital that will make Delhi look small. 4 yrs later, we are still waiting for him to fulfil this promise he made before Lord Balaji in Tirupati. #AgainBJPCheatedAP #APdemandsJustice.
