Update

In the first visit to Andhra Pradesh after its Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu severed his ties with BJP Modi attacked Chandra Babu Naidu verbally in the BJP's rally held in Guntur. In relation to the remarks that Mr. Naidu usually makes that he is a senior to Narendra Modi in Politics, Modi said that Mr. Naidu is a senior in switching sides and backstabbing his seniors. He also alleged that Mr. Naidu is using Public Funds to finance his Political Campaigns. He also added that Polavaram project has become a means for CBN and his family to make money.

In retaliation, Chandra Babu Naidu told the media that he doesn't usually make personal attacks, But the PM is forcing me to do so with his comments. He commented about Mr. Modi bringing Triple Talaq into existence but never speaks about his own wife, Yashoda Ben. He also retorted against the comments made against his son by saying that, "I have always promoted family values and am proud to be Lokesh's dad. Since Modi has no family, he would not understand its importance."

Mr. Naidu also commented about Modi's expensive clothes and said that he had wore the same type of clothes for 40 years and had switched to black only for the people.

Chandra Babu Naidu has recently started Dharma Porata Deeksha at AP Bhavan in New Delhi for special status of Andhra Pradesh. Many National leaders including AICC President Rahul Gandhi have extended their support.

Upon Modi's arrival in Guntur, all the TDP, Congress and YSRCP leaders waved banners that said "No More Modi" and "Modi Never Again". The Protestors also waved black balloons and black flags showing their discontent over Narendra Modi's U-Turn on granting special status to Andhra Pradesh.
