"We are not surprised over the panic reaction of our political opponents on the suggestion made by Narendra Modi because they are sure they will be exposed of their past sins," Naidu said.

Observing that BJP is committed to the formation of Telangana comprising the present 10 districts of Andhra Pradesh with Hyderabad as its capital, he maintained that all other proposals like Rayala Telangana are only leakages from government.

"No proposal has been made to us. We do not have any opportunity to discuss any such proposals. As far as we are concerned, these are ploys by the Congress party," he said.

He alleged that Congress is "calculating only in terms of votes and seats" and not bothered about people's welfare in Telangana or Seemandhra.

Replying to a query, he expressed hope that the BJP would win in at least four of the five states where Assembly polls are being held.

The BJP would also raise the issues of farming community, terror activities and the need to evolve a strong response to the challenges, Naidu added.
