They are together in their "blind opposition to Modi and

NDA," they are not able to digest the fact that people have given a mandate to Modi and an ordinary man has become the prime minister and he is getting day by day popular, within the country and outside the country, he said.
So they are expressing their frustration as they are not able to do it individually as a party, they are trying to team up, Naidu said.
Otherwise Congress party never bothered to give respect to any regional party, never bothered to give respect to other parties, except as and when they are in crisis, he said.

"In order to keep up the morale of their cadre - we are all together, no, no we will have some impact. You media also, when all of them march together to Rashtrapati Bhawan, you cannot ignore the news. That will be a headline. Though there is no common line, it will be the headline," he said.
He said the rules of politics in the country have significantly changed over the last few years.
"People used to say you cannot win elections on developmental agenda. Modiji has shown that you can win elections on the issue of development," Naidu said.

The I&B minister said Modi has proved it in Gujarat and in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, BJP won thrice on developmental agenda.
"We have also won Maharashtra and Jharkhand," he said.
Even after demonetisation, in this recent municipal polls, 80 per cent panchayat seats have gone to BJP in Gujarat, he said.
"The realignment should reflect the genuine aspirations of the people," Naidu said, adding that people don't want empty promises, they want something to happen to improve their living conditions.
"Particularly the youth, there is thirst, urge for development. That is why the youth are rallying behind the PM across the country," he added.

The ground realty is that note ban has found huge support of the common man on the ground, he said.
