I'm not ashamed to admit that prohibition is 'impractical.'
Amaravati will not be a ghost city.
Every sphere of activity has a set of rules. Politics is no different.
Our government has this three-city concept where Tirupati will be a city of lakes and a tourist destination, Amaravati a blue-green city, and Visakhapatnam a beautiful city buzzing with economic activity and jobs.
I have been saying for a long time, all my phones are tapped.
Tapping of phones is a serious business and has to be authenticated by requisite authorities on valid grounds.
I have tried for a year to work with the Telangana government.
One cannot judge the poll outcome by the crowds one draws at public meetings.
It is true I work 16 hours a day.
We are fighting the communal BJP on the one hand and the corrupt Congress on the other.
My nature is to compromise and get things done for the state.
People are losing faith in the banking system due to security issues.
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?
I have dedicated myself to development of the state and hardly get time to spend with my family.
Whenever there is a threat to cooperative federalism, the TDP will certainly raise its voice.
I don't want to claim that my government can find solutions to all the problems facing the people.
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.
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.
Only a firm government that acts tough on fraudsters can send the right signals to the country.
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.
