After calling him 'U-turn babu' and 'Sticker Babu', Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday sought to liken TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu to 'Bhallaladeva,' the evil character in the blockbuster film Baahubali, whose heritage was only 'vishwasghaat' (betrayal).

Modi also made a pointed reference to the recent controversy related to the theft of peoples personal data by the TDP through its mobile application Seva Mitra and accused the ruling party of indulging in cyber crime.

"Falsehood, despair and u-turn have become the TDP governments identity.

Someone was telling me...U-turn Babus condition has become like Bhallaladeva of Bahubali film.

He is constantly trying every means, dharma or adharma, to ensure power remains in his familys grasp," the Prime Minister lashed out, addressing his second election rally for the BJP in Andhra Pradesh.

Referring to Naidu only as U-turn Babu in his 25-minute address, Modi spit fire at the TDP chief for pushing Andhra Pradeshs heritage into danger only to safeguard 'his own heritage.'
