TIL Desk/National/AP/ Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said he was fighting a ‘dharma yuddh’ (battle for righteousness) to secure the state’s ‘legitimate’ rights and parties at national level were backing Telugu Desam Party’s no-confidence motion against the National Democratic Alliance government due to his party’s credibility.
Speaking to reporters here hours after the TDP quit the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA and moved the notice for the motion in Lok Sabha, Naidu said he would now go ahead and bring various parties at the national level together. The TDP supremo said he had not contacted any party yet but given the ‘TDP’s credibility’ they were supporting the no-trust motion.
“We are fighting a dharma yuddham against the Centre to secure our state’s legitimate rights. TDP has a credibility at the national level, so many parties are coming forward to support us. I will soon speak to those who are ready to support us,” he said.
Naidu said he was now free to talk with any party which he could not do while being a partner of the ruling alliance at the Centre. “I now have no obligations and I will go ahead by bringing various parties at the national level together,” he added.
