Amaravati: Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu said Thursday he accepted the verdict of the
people of Andhra Pradesh and congratulated YSR Congress on its victory in the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in the state. He also congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik over their electoral
victories.
"Elections are over, results have come. In a democracy, it is our responsibility to accept peoples verdict. I congratulate YSR Congress president Jaganmohan Reddy on his partys victory," Naidu said at a press conference.
He said the TDP would now review the results and announce the future course of action.
"We will review how the party should now function and go forward. I will not talk anything now," he said in response to a question.
