Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh will be a thing of the past after June 4 as people are fed up with “corruption, cronyism and mafia raj”.
The prime minister said that after travelling across the southern state recently, he was convinced that people were voting for the National Democratic Alliance of the Telugu Desam Party, Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janasena in large numbers.
Women and young voters are propelling this surge of support, he said, calling the roadshow memorable.
Modi said the BJP and the Telugu Desam Party have worked together in the past and their alliance was committed to futuristic development, while the active support of the Janasena has further fortified the coalition.
“We want to improve agricultural productivity, boost industrial growth and ensure AP (Andhra Pradesh) makes a mark in the services sector too. We want to give wings to the entrepreneurial energy the people of this state are blessed with,” Modi said.
The prime minister vowed that the NDA would leverage the coastline of Andhra Pradesh for its progress, working towards a port-led development of the state and encouraging the fisheries sector.
He said that emphasis on next-generation infrastructure would continue while much work needs to be done on road, rail and air connectivity. Modi added that they also want to build a strong digital infrastructure.
Earlier, Modi held a roadshow here to canvass for the NDA partners for the elections.
Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu joined the roadshow, which ended near Benz Circle on Bandar Road.
Scores of NDA supporters from the ranks of the BJP, TDP and Janasena converged on Bandar Road to catch a glimpse of the prime minister.
Modi, Naidu and Kalyan waved at the crowds and acknowledged them with folded hands.
The roadshow was Modi’s fourth electioneering programme in the southern state within two days after back-to-back meetings at Rajamahendravaram and Anakapalli on May 6, followed by another public meeting at Kalikiri on Wednesday.
Simultaneous elections for the 25 Lok Sabha seats and 175 Assembly constituencies in the southern state will be held on May 13 and results will be declared on June 4.
