Political News: Kanna calls Chandrababu a Lucha, Modi smiles

During a video conference with BJP Karyakartas from Andhra Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had listened to several concerns of his cadre and addressed them. However, at some instances, Modi exhibited rival-like behavior whenever his party members spoke about AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.

When BJP State President Kanna Lakshminarayana spoke to Modi, he thanked the Prime Minister for sanctioning several National Highways and Tribal University for Vizianagaram district. However, criticizing Chandrababu, Kanna said: "Our Chief Minister is Lucha, Liar, Cheater and he is looting this state." During this banter of Kanna, Modi smirked sarcastically.

When a party member is disrespecting the CM of his own state, without at least respecting the position, it is unbecoming of a Prime Minister of the country to smirk at it, rather than address the Chief Minister respectfully despite the TDP being BJP's rival party. Ever since TDP broke ties with the BJP and walked out of NDA, the rivalry towards AP Chief Minister for both Modi and Amit Shah has become personal instead of remaining political.

On the other hand, BJP needs to understand that the people of Andhra Pradesh are being insulted for demanding their rightful share as promised in the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014. And, by showing the state’s Chief Minister in the bad light, BJP will not gain anything. In fact, there are high chances that the party’s image among people will further deteriorate.
