Did BJP internal wranglings upset Modi? Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Telangana was marred by a public spat between him and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday. The tense atmosphere was palpable at the inauguration of a solar park in Kothur, Telangana's Mahbubnagar district, where Modi was accompanied by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. Naidu, a key ally of the BJP, was noticeably absent from the event. When questioned by the media about his absence, Naidu made some critical comments about the BJP's alleged neglect of Andhra Pradesh's development, sparking a sharp response from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). Modi's visit was seen as an attempt to strengthen the BJP's ties with Telangana and Andhra Pradesh ahead of the 2019 general elections. The public spat between Modi and Naidu has its roots in the BJP's internal wranglings over the Special Category Status (SCS) for Andhra Pradesh. The SCS was a key demand of the state's people after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014. However, the BJP, led by Modi, has been reluctant to grant the SCS, citing the state's financial situation and the Centre's financial constraints. This has led to growing discontent among Andhra Pradesh's people, who feel that the BJP has betrayed its promise of providing special status to the state. Naidu's public criticism of the BJP's stance on the SCS has put pressure on the party, and Modi's visit was seen as an attempt to defuse the situation. The public spat between Modi and Naidu has significant implications for the BJP's prospects in the 2019 general elections. The BJP needs the support of Andhra Pradesh's people to win the elections, and Naidu's opposition to the party's stance on the SCS has put their alliance at risk. The BJP's failure to grant the SCS to Andhra Pradesh has also sparked protests and agitations across the state, which could affect the party's chances in the elections. Experts say that the BJP's internal wranglings have weakened its position in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, making it difficult for the party to win seats in these states. The BJP's stance on the SCS for Andhra Pradesh has also sparked a debate about the party's commitment to regional development and its relations with
