Rajahmundry, April 4: TDP chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu said that after seeing the excitement among the youth, it is clear that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) will win the Andhra Pradesh assembly elections. He was addressing the Praja Galam public meeting at Kovvur, Rajahmundry on Wednesday.

Chandrababu Naidu said, "After seeing the enthusiasm of the youth, I can feel that there is no doubt that we are winning in Andhra Pradesh. YSRCP arranged 1500 buses and mobilised paid people. But people are fleeing from the meeting venue even before the meeting gets started. People are ready to press two buttons and defeat YSRCP." Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2024: Congress Releases List of 114 Candidates for Legislative Assembly Elections, Check Names of Candidates.

He said that the trend among people has changed and it is sure that they will dethrone Jagan Mohan Reddy. "As an egoist ruler, Jagan Reddy destroyed the state, the future of the people, and their children. By the time the children become adults, the state will remain a desert and a cemetery," he said. Naidu said that to save the state, they formed an alliance and came before the people.

"From the beginning, Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan said that the anti-YSRCP government vote shouldn't split. YSRCP should be defeated and AP should be freed from the Jagan Reddy's party. I wholeheartedly appreciate Pawan Kalyan from this Kovvur meeting," he said. He said that the BJP is in power in the centre and will be re-elected. "To save the state, the three political parties have come together for the betterment of the state," he added. Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2024: EC Announces Schedule for Vidhan Sabha Polls, Check Polling and Result Dates.
