Prime Minister Narendra Modi has predicted a clean sweep for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections. He said that he does not believe that the present government led by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy will be voted back to power. Modi’s comments came during an interview with Telugu news channel NTV. He said that the BJP and TDP are fighting the elections as partners in the NDA, and that the Janasena Party is also with them this time. Modi added that he is confident that the NDA will win a majority of Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh and form the next government in the state. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, meanwhile, claimed that the YSRCP, TDP, and Janasena are the ‘B’ team of the BJP in Andhra Pradesh. He said that the remote control of these three leaders is with PM Modi.
