: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday dubbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “hollow” man who has “done nothing” for the country.

He also accused the Modi Government of “denying” special category status to Andhra Pradesh, despite promising it in Parliament.

Naidu said Modi did nothing even for his home state Gujarat as its Chief Minister for 12 years, but made everyone believe he did "great things".

"We all believed this. The whole country believed this but were left cheated", the chief minister said in a continued diatribe against Modi.

He also released a 'white paper' on "implementation" of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 and the "connected assurances", here, targeting primarily the PM.

"A leader makes all the difference. We believed what all Narendra Modi said. What is Narendra Modi today... Hollow," Naidu remarked.

The Prime Minister had been campaigning that there was no great leader than him, he alleged, adding "but he is no good".
