Despite having secured 240 seats, the bharatiya janata party is largely dependent on its alliance partners, Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)] and Chandrababu Naidu's telugu desam party (TDP), to achieve the 272-seat majority required to form the government. In the middle of this, Naidu's previous tweets and videos criticizing the Modi administration are becoming popular on social media and sparking online debates.
 

“Modi has systematically destroyed prestigious institutions of India. In bjp govt’s rule, institutional autonomy and democracy have been under attack. From cbi to RBI, even a constitutional authority like the election commission was not spared,” read the tweet from Naidu, which was posted on april 16, 2019, right after the ap assembly elections at that time.

“Modi-Shah govt has betrayed the nation. The public mandate that brought them to power also has the strength to overthrow them. If bjp tries to victimize our leaders and harass the public, it will pay a heavy price. We will fight fearlessly to save democracy. #UnitedIndiaAtBrigade (sic),” Naidu said in an other tweet.

“We want to send this message across loud & clear, all efforts by bjp to attack the indian democracy will be met with a strong opposition. people must understand that any leader will do better than PM Modi ji. bjp govt has let the people of this country down in all possible ways. (sic), he wrote in an other tweet.

Furthermore, in a 2019 archive video, chandrababu naidu is seen talking with a journalist about how his party adheres to a secular ideology and that it only partnered with Modi in the past out of political necessity. In addition to saying that "all leaders are better than narendra Modi" and that "Prime Ministers were chosen after elections," he highlights the democratic requirement of today.


Citing Naidu’s tweet and the viral video, many on social media are urging him to reconsider his position in the nda and to join the india alliance instead. “ hope you will stand by your statements and adhere to your political ideals to protect the constitutional institutions of the country (sic),” read a tweet. “So True sir (sic),” retweeted actor Prakash Raj.
