Stating that he has managed to "convince everybody", Naidu said, according to PTI, "Everybody is willing to cooperate with us. In this experiment, Congress is the main opposition party. They have more responsibility. We have to acknowledge that."

Naidu blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the present state of affairs in the CBI and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). He said the value of rupee have fallen, prices of essential commodities have risen, unemployment has increased, and farmers are in a crisis. "Intolerance towards people from SC, ST and minority communities has increased. Under this government, India's secular fabric has been damaged and unrest is prevailing (all across)."

And amid all this, Naidu said, the Central government is conducting raids on those questioning the government, including the media and Opposition politicians, to "frighten them".

Claiming that it is time to take a "decision on the country's future", the TDP chief said, "I have no personal interest. We have to protect the country, protect democracy, and protect constitutional rights. Narendra Modi's negative attitude and unilateral decisions along with (BJP chief) Amit Shah are leading to problems... The Modi-Shah duo is destroying systems in the country.''
