Andhra Pradesh: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit to Guntur to launch the BJP’s election campaign in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) workers tore flex boards with the PM’s photographs even as governor ESL Narasimhan arrived at Gannavaram to receive Modi.
Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu threw protocol out of the window and didn’t show up to receive PM Modi at Gannavaram airport in Vijaywada, underlying that there is no love lost between the BJP and the TDP.
TDP supporters were ready with thousands of black balloons to greet Modi after Naidu urged party workers to register their protest against the PM’s visit by staging black flag demonstrations.
