After Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are now targeting former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
The Centre targeted TRS MLC Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in the Delhi liquor scam.In the Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corporation scam, it is reliably learnt that the Centre has decided to target former IT Minister Nara Lokesh, the son of former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued notices to 26 persons in connection with the alleged scam that took place in the Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corporation between 2014 and 2019.
During this period Chandrababu was the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and his son Nara Lokesh was the IT Minister from April 2, 2017, till the TDP’s defeat in the Assembly elections in May 2019.
The YSR Congress Party had levelled several charges against the TDP government regarding corruption in the Skill Development Corporation.When TDP circles are expecting an alliance with the BJP in the next Assembly elections in both Telugu states the ED shocked them by issuing notices to 26 persons who were very close to Chandrababu Naidu.
After the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP took a decision not to have any alliance with the TDP in future. But the TDP is trying strongly for an alliance with the BJP.Sources said the BJP leadership has decided to weaken the TRS in Telangana and the TDP in Andhra Pradesh. In Telangana, the BJP has hopes of coming to power in the next Assembly election. But in Andhra Pradesh, the BJP has no chance even to win a single Assembly seat in the next elections on its own.
At present, the BJP has an alliance with the Jana Sena but it is not clear whether this will continue till the next Assembly elections. If the BJP has an alliance with the Jana Sena it may win some seats but there is no chance of coming to power.
