Continuing his tirade against the Prime Minister, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu today sought to know who Narendra Modi was trying to hoodwink by observing a protest "deeksha" against washout of Parliament's budget session.

"Are there any instances in history where a Prime Minister observed deeksha? Is it not your incompetence?" he asked.

He was referring to the day-long fast observed today by Modi and other BJP MPs.

Talking to reporters after inaugurating a police technology centre at Mangalagiri here, the Chief Minister said, "For four years, we waited patiently (to get the promises made to AP delivered), but when that did not happen, we came out of the NDA government."
When pointed out to the protests against the Prime Minister's visit to Chennai this morning, the Chief Minister said, "we too will do that. We will do more, but I don't think they will dare come here."
