Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday met Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora here and submitted a memorandum alleging that a large number of EVMs malfunctioned during polling in the state on Thursday and inadequate security led to incidents of violence.
When he finally wrapped up his poll campaigning exercise, Naidu spent quality time with his family, especially his grandson Nara Devaansh.
Naidu said that polling was delayed at several places as the EVMs were not functioning.
"Shameless Jagan Mohan [Reddy] is eating dog biscuits; he is distributing them to us also. Jagan Mohan Reddy and K Chandrasekhar Rao are pet dogs for [Prime Minister] Modi; they will be at his feet for a single biscuit," Naidu said at a rally in Machilipatnam region of the Krishna district.
The tribunal directed the state government to deposit Rs 100 crore 'environment compensation' with the Central Pollution Control Board within a month.
The BJP chief alleged that last year, Naidu pulled out of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as he sensed that there was an anti-incumbency wave in the state. He said Naidu tried to mislead the people by making baseless allegations against the NDA.
Justifying Raut's meeting with Naidu, the Sena said the leader visited Andhra Pradesh chief minister as a "courtesy" because his state has been split into two.
AAP Delhi convenor Gopal Rai told news agency PTI that Mamata Banerjee, N Chandrababu Naidu, former PM Deve Gowda,NC leader Farooq Abdullah and NCP chief Sharad Pawar would attend the rally.
The fast protest, held at the Andhra Bhavan in the national capital became a virtual platform for the unity among the parties hoping to form the anti-BJP front.
Chandrababu Naidu is holding a day-long fast, demanding that the Centre grant special status to the state and fulfil all promises made before its bifurcation in 2014. A TDP delegation led by Naidu will submit a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday.
So far, the Chief Minister has participated in 'Dharma Porata Deeksha' in 11 districts of Andhra Pradesh.
Main leaders of other non-BJP parties will also take part in this rally, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said.
Naidu, who is also the President of Telugu Desam Party (TDP), has appealed to all, including opposition parties, to make the protest a success.
In his daily teleconference with Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders, Naidu said after Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati, it was now the turn of Mamata Banerjee to face a "witch-hunt".
The TDP chief referred to the opposition parties’ rally in Kolkata and said it marked the beginning of the end of dictatorial rule and gave confidence to the people of the country.
Naidu's latest visit to the national capital comes after Bahujan Samaj Party and Samajwadi Party announced to join hands in Uttar Pradesh, leaving the Congress out.
Modi said the Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was so fixated with the rise of his son that he does not realise how his policies and corruption can lead to sunset of the state.
