PM Modi always plans for next election: TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and ally of the ruling BJP in the NDA government, N Chandrababu Naidu, on Saturday, claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is always planning for the next election.

Speaking at the HT Summit, Naidu highlighted an incident to underscore Modi's leadership style. He referred to the recent swearing-in ceremony of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in Chandigarh, where, according to Naidu, what seemed like a routine event turned into a major political engagement.

“We thought it was just a simple swearing-in ceremony, and we would attend and leave. But after the ceremony, PM Modi held an uninterrupted meeting with all NDA Chief Ministers for four hours. He listened attentively to everyone’s views,” Naidu said. “That’s his determination. That’s his great leadership. That’s why I say, he is already preparing for the 2029 elections.”
