Modi Changes Style: Stops Naidu Bashing

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a Public Meeting in Vishakapatnam a little while ago. This is the Second Public Meeting of the Prime Minister in Andhra Pradesh in the last one month or so. In Amaravati Public Meeting, Modi lambasted TDP Supremo Chandrababu Naidu. In fact, Modi has dedicated more time to bash Chandrababu than anything.

Political Experts have cautioned that BJP is playing into the hands of TDP. They say the more Modi target Chandrababu Naidu, it will help the TDP Supremo as there is a scope to rake anti-Andhra sentiment. Modi seems to have realized that and has changed his strategy in Vishakapatnam.

In his speech, Modi focused more on various central schemes and various forms of assistance given to Vishakapatnam and Uttarandhra. About the Opposition, Modi mostly talked about the need for a Strong Government and now a Khichidi Government which is a group of parties with no ideological base.

Modi also tried to rake in anti-Pakistan sentiment and made indirect references of Opposition make Pro-Pakistan Statements while opposing him. Finally, Modi’s speech looked more like in the National Perspective and focused less on Chandrababu Naidu related issues which is actually good for BJP in a way. There are some indirect references but they are nowhere near his Amaravati Speech.
