AP CM's Controversial Statement Causes Heckles To Rise At Nandyal:- The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Mr. N Chandrababu Naidu's controversial statement to some group of people who met him at Nandyal with some problems, is causing heckles to rise.

Mr Naidu said, "If you do not like my administration, do not take pensions assigned out by my government nor walk on the roads laid by my government."

The AP CM apparently told his party leaders,"Despite getting so many benefits from us, ask them why they are dissatisfied. I will not hesitate to ignore such villages, who do not vote for us." He further told his party leaders to seek votes only on the basis of development. Mr. Naidu made a shocking statement that he too could offer Rs 5,000 for a vote, but was not his policy. "Unlike the Opposition parties who traded in votes, I am committed to uphold honesty in politics," said the AP CM.

He even questioned the villagers by asking, "Why do you still crave for the money distributed by corrupt political leaders and vote for their parties? How can a 500 or 1,000 rupee note given by them change your fortune?"

Naidu earlier held a review meeting at Nandyal and had asked his officers to prepare a plan for the town to transform it to a smart city. He also pointed out about the faction politics in Rayalaseema. The CM stated that new generation of leaders had been brought by him "as the young generation are more positive than those of our generation."

Due to political compulsions, he said he had invited leaders from the Opposition, but due to this, he had faced problems within the Telugu Desam party.
