Venkaiah asks KCR, Naidu to focus on development

Union Minister for Urban Development M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday asked Chief Ministers of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, K Chandrashekhar Rao and N Chandrababu Naidu respectively, to set aside their differences and focus on the development of their respective States.

Speaking to media persons at Nellore, Venkaiah Naidu said both the Telugu States should compete with each other in terms of development and not in creating controversies. He said that the law would take its own course in dealing with the ongoing controversies and both the Chief Ministers need not interfere on those issues.

Venkaiah said it was wrong on the part of some ministers of Andhra Pradesh to target Governor ESL Narasimhan. He said instead of criticising the Governor, they should concentrate on the development of the State.
