Political News: TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu Vows to Step into Assembly Again Only After Returning to Power

Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday broke down into tears before media persons in his party chambers after walking out of the assembly. He vowed to step into the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly again only after returning to power. The Leader of the Opposition, in an emotional speech, said in the House that he was pained by the continuous slur on him by the ruling YSR Congress members.

“For the last two and a half years, I have been bearing the insults but remained calm. Today, they have targeted even my wife. I was always lived with honour and for honour. I can take it no more,” Naidu said.

Though he continued to speak, Speaker Tammineni Seetaram cut the mike even as the ruling party members called Naidu’s remarks a “drama”.

The former Chief Minister vented his frustration following an acrimonious exchange of words between the two sides in the House during a short discussion on the farm sector. Later, he held an impromptu meeting with his party legislators in his chamber, where he broke down. The stunned TDP legislators consoled Naidu after which they all came back into the House.
