Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday said that the Congress party would not get even 20 seats in the state if the TDP workers and leaders remain united and fight the elections in a coordinated and effective manner.
Talking to media persons after interacting with party office bearers of West Godavari district as part of his visit to the district, Naidu predicted that the YSR Congress party would merge with the Congress soon on the lines of Praja Rajyam led by actor-turned-politician K Chiranjeevi.
Earlier, the TDP president garlanded the portrait of party founder N T Rama Rao. He also felicitated a physically handicapped party worker by inviting him to the dais and gave him a flower bouquet.
Naidu alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation had forced the YSR Congress president Jaganmohan Reddy to arrive at a secret pact with the Congress high command. He said that the reason why both the sides have softened their stand against each other after Jagan's Delhi visit.
The TDP chief also supported the demand of farmers of Kolleru Lake in West Godavari for reducing the size of the lake up to third contour to benefit poor farmers.
