Demonetisation is going to result in long-term gains for the country.
— N. Chandrababu Naidu
Demonetisation was a big flop, and its outcome was negative. The government has done nothing to get back black money.
I will never go to the Centre. I have never been an aspirant for any post or for any role at the Centre.
Technology is the future, I have seen the third industrial revolution, and we are in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution.
Earlier, physical currency used to dominate. Now, mobile currency or digital currency is dominating. For digital currency, fintech is very crucial.
I want to place the facts before the people. Tell them about the greediness of Congress and how it divided the Telugu people and destroyed the state for political gains.
High-level corruption, inefficiency, non-governance, and policy paralysis have crippled the nation's economy.
Modi is a disgrace to the prime minister's post.
I have been responsible for so many fronts in the past: The National Front, the United Front; the UNPA, too, was created by me.
I am satisfied with my achievements in terms of both development and welfare. I have not only lived up to most of the expectations of people, but also surpassed some of their expectations.
In many parts of the country, like South India, people don't bother much about the nationalist passions that BJP was attempting to rouse for electoral benefits.
People always want welfare, development, and good governance. As long as you are delivering, people are with you.
Only a firm government that acts tough on fraudsters can send the right signals to the country.
To reduce the burden on the state exchequer, we increased the price of rice. I find nothing wrong in doing so in the best interests of the people and for the overall development of the state.
I have dedicated myself to development of the state and hardly get time to spend with my family.
People have faith in me because of my track record.
My nature is to compromise and get things done for the state.
Generally, I have lot of patience, and I won't take a decision immediately on anything. I will think twice, thrice; then only I take a decision.
I also expected a lot from Modi, like every citizen. Talking is different; delivering is important.
I was never consulted before the bifurcation. Injustice has been done to Andhra Pradesh, which had no revenues.
People look at track records now, and voters as stakeholders want ease of living and development, which is my aim.
Digital economy is happening everywhere in the world.
At the end of the day, politics is meant to do good to the society.
For Modi, India offers a great opportunity for development with excellent natural and human resources.
Unfortunately, though both Mahatma Gandhi and Narendra Modi hail from Gujarat, Gandhi never lied, and Modi never speaks the truth.
People should have fear of the law.
Modi has misused institutions like the ED, Intelligence Bureau, CBI, RBI and National Statistical Commission for political gains and harassing his political opponents. Modi lost his credibility by all these acts.
The Congress and regional parties may fight against each other in certain states, but they will get united at the national level against BJP for forming the coalition government.
I'm telling you anybody is better than Narendra Modi because he won't listen to anybody.
Modi is shielding and encouraging fraud-accused persons such as Gali Janardhan Reddy and Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy. He is encouraging fraudsters, both directly and indirectly, and thereby helping open floodgates for corruption and frauds.
I don't want to claim that my government can find solutions to all the problems facing the people.
My life is an open book.
People are losing faith in the banking system due to security issues.
We are fighting the communal BJP on the one hand and the corrupt Congress on the other.
TDP is always very assertive for public interest.
I have been in the politics for the last 40 years. I became chief minister in 1995 and worked in the NDA and UPA. I have seen it all.
Ultimately, I will do my best - whatever is possible - for this great nation.
In information technology, money is not the issue. Willingness to implement and execute is the issue.
Fourth industrial revolution is a deadly combination of technology and Internet of Things.
I think good governance and good politics can go together.
The BJP simply does not want Andhra Pradesh to become the number one state in all development parameters and Naidu getting credit.
I feel Delhi always has a problem in understanding different regions and cultures.
The government is one entity which can control fraud, both public and private.
Modi failed miserably on most counts. He lacks the vision that a leader needs to possess and a strategy to achieve the vision and outcomes.
Hyderabad is my brainchild. I have developed it with passion.
I did get the opportunity to become prime minister once when TDP had 42 Lok Sabha seats. I had turned it down only in the interest of the then united Andhra Pradesh.
Despite serious constraints, challenges, and non-cooperation from the Centre, we have managed to develop Andhra on all fronts and ensured that the state tops in national ranks on various parameters, apart from successfully attracting large-scale investments from global giants.
Whenever there is a threat to cooperative federalism, the TDP will certainly raise its voice.
What kind of signal is Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving by closeting himself with tainted politicians and financial fraud-accused of YSR Congress undergoing trial?
The only reason why I tied up with the BJP was that Andhra Pradesh wasn't done justice during the bifurcation.
