Naidu lauded Modi and the BJP-led NDA government, which the now ailing Atal Bihari Vajpayee headed, for pursuing development work.
"Earlier they used to talk only about Hyderabad. Now everyone talks only about (economic) development in Gujarat."
He praised the NDA government, which his Telugu Desam Party had propped up, for starting the Golden Quadrilateral road project and for creating over six million jobs.
He slammed the Congress for India's economic troubles.
