HYDERABAD: Taking strong exception to opposition parties finding fault with him for campaigning for his party for GHMC polls, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu said he had every right to campaign as his party was born in Hyderabad and the TDP government played a vital role in putting the city on the global map through its developmental activities.
Addressing various public meetings here as part of his poll campaign on Friday, Naidu reminded that he had begun his political career from Hyderabad and played a vital role in the development of the city, hence he had every right to campaign in the city. “I have been living in this city for more than 35 years. I was CM for 9 years and opposition leader for 10 years. Everyone knows who had developed Hyderabad. After doing so much today some people are saying that I do not have right to campaign in the GHMC polls. They are afraid of me so they are trying to stop me,” he said.
Refuting the allegation of opposition parties that he was afraid of coming to Hyderabad due to ‘cash-for-vote’ scam, the TDP chief said that he was not afraid of anyone and would not be frightened by such allegations. “I have been subjected to such allegations in the past also. But, I came out clean. Hence, there is no question of fearing anyone,” he asserted. Claiming that only through TDP Hyderabad could be developed, Naidu said the citizens of the city should vote for TDP for the development of the city. “TDP has developed Hyderabad in the past. It would do it again, if it is elected to power,” he said.
