Not an ordinary win says Naidu on Congress stopping BJP in Karnataka
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu termed the resignation of B S Yeddyurappa as Karnataka Chief Minister a "victory of democracy" and said it was a day everybody should feel proud of.
"This is not an ordinary victory. Entire people of the country will be happy. It is a proud day for all of us," Naidu said at a meeting of women self-help groups leaders here this evening.
He
said
normally
a
party
with
majority
would
be
invited
to
form
the
government.
"But,
going
against
the
tradition,
the
(Karnataka)
governor
did
not
invite
Congress-JDS
combine
(that
has
majority)
to
form
the
government.
They are adopting different traditions in different states... one in Goa, another in Meghalaya, because they have power," he said.
Lashing
out
at
the
BJP,
the
Telugu
Desam
Party
chief
said:
"They
spoiled
politics
in
Tamil
Nadu,
misused
the
governor's
office,
finished
off
persons
with
leadership
qualities.
They
tried
to
derive
political
benefit
in
Tamil
Nadu
and
tried
the
same
in
Karnataka."
He claimed that the BJP's next target would have been Andhra Pradesh (had it succeeded in Karnataka).
"Entire nation is happy with the current turn of events. As a chief minister and a firm believer of democracy, I am expressing my happiness," Naidu said.
