Modi compares CM Chandrababu to Bhallala Deva of 'Baahubali'

Stepping up his attack on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday compared him to blockbuster "Baahubali" movie's primary antagonist Bhallala Deva and accused him of trying to keep power with his family by hook or crook.

Addressing a BJP rally in this town in East Godavari district, Modi repeatedly called the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief 'U-turn Babu' and alleged that the TDP has been involved in stealing people's data.

"I was told that the TDP started a new work which is related to cyber crime through Seva Mitra App, which is neither doing Seva (service) nor is a Mitra (friend), instead, it is stealing people's data," said Modi referring to the data theft case booked in Telangana in March against an IT company providing services to the TDP.

Modi alleged that lies, frustration and U-turn have become the identity of the TDP government.

"See the statement he made two years ago and see what he is saying today. He could not do anything but blame others. Such leadership can't be trusted by the people," he alleged.
