Chandrababu Naidu theatrics will not fetch him votes, says AP Minister Perni Nani

Vijayawada/Visakhapatnam: Asserting that Leader of Opposition and TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu has resorted to theatrics with all his political experience, Minister for Transport Perni Venkataramaiah (Nani) said such cheap tactics will not generate any sympathy or votes for him.

He told the media at Tadepalli that the name of Chandrababu Naidu's wife Bhuvaneswari was not mentioned in the Assembly by any member nor did they abuse his family members.

Responding to the allegations that YSRCP leaders abused Chandrababu Naidu and even dragged his wife's name while addressing the Assembly, the Minister said that Naidu is making false allegations to gain sympathy from people.

He said that it is not right to attribute the words that were never used and asked them to prove, as there are no such comments in the Assembly records.

Perni Nani said that it was the Opposition leader who tried to provoke by discussing topics that were out of context and is now trying to politicise the issue by enacting a drama to defame the government.

He said that YSRCP leaders are driven by ethics and would never disrespect a woman. Photography and videography is against the rule of Legislative Assembly, yet TDP MLAs have recorded a video of Naidu and even in that there is no record of YSRCP leaders abusing his family.

He said that the NTR family is still believing Naidu's words despite his terrible deeds in the past. The Minister asked them to check the Assembly feed if they are unsure and said NTR family members should not be deceived by Naidu. He stated that Naidu is capable of misleading their family people and his tears episode is yet another drama that was put up for political gains.
