Hyderabad: Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi launched the Bharatiya Janata Partys election campaign in south India by reaching out to the Telugu Desam Party for an alliance as he appealed to all non-Congress parties to come together to put an end to dynastic rule of the Congress in India.
Invoking the legacy of TDP founder NT Rama Rao,the veteran leader addressing his first rally as BJPs chief poll campaign manager,said the TDP has a huge responsibility of fulfilling NTRs dreams.
I am in AP and I want to remember NTR.He gave fillip to anti-Congress politics.His dream was not just a prosperous Telugu state,but a liberated India.The best homage paid to him would be to unite non-Congress forces and liberate India from Congress rule, Modi said.
It is up to the TDP to carry NTRs legacy forward.They have to realise their responsibility in this regard, he said to thunderous applause from the thousands,who had gathered at Hyderabads Lal Bahadur Shastri stadium from early morning.The TDP was part of the BJP-led NDA alliance from 1998 to 2004,before the Chandrababu Naidu-led party severed ties following the defeat in Lok Sabha elections.
During his speech,Modi came down heavily on the Congress government in Andhra Pradesh for its failure to create jobs for the youth,and called upon the state government to emulate Jayalalithaas Tamil Nadu as a role model in skill development.
If you dont want to appreciate Gujarat model,it is fine.But look at how Jayalalithaa has created jobs through skill development in your neighboring state.Learn from her example, said Modi,with some analysts describing it as an example of growing bonhomie between the AIADMK and the BJP leading up to next years elections.
Attacking the Congress,Modi said hot anti-Congress winds were blowing across the country as people were fed up with growing corruption and misrule.

(Gujarat CM Narendra Modi…)
HYDERABAD: Narendra Modi's youth conclave drew huge crowd to the LB stadium on Sunday but his speech drew mixed reactions from the attendees.

"We arrived in the morning as we had not registered earlier. It is hard to believe that so many people have turned up to hear one man speak," said Kruthi Jaiswal, a student from the city.

Traffic restrictions effected by the city police made it easy to reach the venue but the earmarked parking facilities proved barely adequate. Even as the usually busy Abids road and nearby areas like Himayatnagar, Basheerbagh and Nampally wore a deserted look, the police and volunteers had a difficult time controlling the crowd inside the stadium. Many people had to contend with squatting outside and watching Modi on the six giant screens that were put up.
Many youngsters said they had turned up to get a glimpse of the BJP stalwart. A group of students waiting opposite Nizam College said they had come from all the way from Medak. The party's cadre too had managed to mobilize huge crowds from the surrounding districts with buses of several engineering colleges and schools ferrying them into the city.
Before the start of the programme, cultural events were held off-stage to keep the crowd entertained. After Venkaiah Naidu's entertaining speech filled with generous exhortations to Modi's iconic status, the Gujarat CM delivered his speech, touching upon national issues and laced with overtones of alliance politics. While Modi's barbs against the Congress, like the value of dollar equaling the age of the finance minister, drew laughs, many were left wondering if there was much to what he said.
"It was a good speech but the expectation was that Modi would outline his vision for the youth as it was a youth conclave. But he merely touched on issues like unemployment and lack of skill development without revealing how they should be resolved," Boddu Venkatesh, an IT employee, said after the meet.

Modi lashes out at PC 

Hyderabad: Corruption has become all pervasive in the UPA rule.And people want to see good governance that can be achieved only by getting rid of the Congress, Modi said.I am confident that Andhra Pradesh's political parties will bring a non-Congress government and end this dynastic rule, he added.
Praising his senior party colleague L K Advanis fight for bringing back money stashed in foreign banks,he lambasted the UPA government for its failure to act on it.He ridiculed the governments monitory policy,and said when India got freedom in 1947,one rupee was equal to one dollar,but now a dollar is equal to the age of the finance minister.
Chanting his pet mantra India First, Modi said,if the BJP comes to power,the holy book of the government would be the Constitution of India.
However,coming with a mixed agenda and multiple issues,Modi looked to have let down the youth,with many saying that he highlighted the problems,but did not have any solution to offer.
While addressing the most sensitive issue of AP division,Modi resorted to woo both the regions of Telangana and Seemandhra,as the Congress had taken the sail out of the BJP winds by announcing formation of Telangana last month.
His chants of Jai Telangana and Jai Seemandhra together failed to cut ice,many experts said at a time when the mood among Andhraties and people from Telangana are not at its best.
The Congress is not sincere on the issue.They say they would build a new capital for Seemandhra in 10 years time.If they had been sincere,they would have started building the capital in 2004 when they committed Telangana, he said.
He added that for the BJP,Seemandhra was as important as Telangana.And I hope both states will do even better than Gujarat, he said 
Slamming the Congress for creating rift between Telangana and Seemandhra,Modi said the ruling party had done great injustice to the state at the cost of its development.The Congress creating divide among people,as its policy is divisive, he lamented.And he prescribed development as the panacea for the problem.Development is the only solution for all the problems and miseries, he said.He signed off by doing a Barack Obama as he chanted Yes We Can,Yes We Will Do and asked the crowd to repeat.
