Ascertaining confidence in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, former TDP Rajya Sabha MP YS Chowdary said that he seeks to participate in the nation-building process with PM Modi. Chowdary said that he has the right vision.

New Delhi: Soon after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) Y S Chowdary on Thursday said that the move was initiated keeping the process of nation-building in mind. Chowdhury said that he is confident of working under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.

Speaking to the media, Chowdary said, "I personally have an experience of working three and a half years with Narendra Modi. I have full confidence in him."

Lauding PM Modi's work, he said, "He has got the right vision."

Taking a dig at former Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu, the industrialist-turned-politician said, "My then leader Chandrababu Naidu made some wrong calculations."

He further added that he tried to make his point to his leader back then, however, his point was not taken under consideration.

Chowdary also mentioned that the details were mentioned in his resignation letter to his former party chief.

Claiming that the resignation was made at the behest of the state, the Rajya Sabha MP said, "We thought that this is the only alternative to work for saving the state of Andhra Pradesh and to implement the Reorganisation Act."

Chowdary said that he seeks to work with the Centre and the state government to ensure that all the points and commitments given to the people of Andhra Pradesh are fulfilled.
