https://theprint.in/2018/03/04/modi-actually-chandrababu-nai du-2-0/ Naidu soon established contact with another Bill â the then US President Bill Clinton â and, through his contacts and salesmanship, convinced him to choose Hyderabad as one of the stops on his visit to India in March 2000. In terms of striking a strategic alliance with the Centre, his chunk of MPs gave him the strength to bargain with successive governments and even bully them to get what he wanted. During the tenure of the United Front government from 1996-98, he was the kingmaker. From 1998 onwards, he became a key ally of the right-wing BJP. He did not hesitate to oscillate between the Left and the Right. But all this did not help him electorally, and he retreated to political wilderness for 10 years from 2004. âNow, I balance reforms and welfare, using the systems to help the common man,â he said. In his second spell in power, Naidu, like Modi, is selling an impossible dream to his people, and has spent the past four years pursuing it. âMy objective is to put Amaravati (bifurcated Andhraâs under-construction capital) among the top three cities in the country by 2022 and make it the number one city by 2029,â he said, âBy 2050, it is going to be the most preferred destination of the world.â But he is unable to get money from the Centre for his development dreams. With the next Lok Sabha elections and the assembly polls a year away, Naidu is trying to create a new brand for himself, like Modi. He has introduced 21 welfare schemes named after himselfâthe âChandrannaâ brand. And even as both Modi and Naidu speak about ease-of-doing-business and reforms, both are pursuing populist measures of old world politics. Probably it is because both will face voters around the same time. Bhagat Singh|Subhash chandra bose |
