Mr Muppavarapu Venkaiah Naidu, Union Housing and Urban Development minister assured that under the leadership of the Modi government, "the nation is in safe hands".
Senior BJP leader and Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Venkaiah Naidu on Friday said he wanted the AIADMK MLAs to remain together respecting the memory of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa and to fulfil the promises she had made to the people during the previous year Assembly election.
Pilot also said that the opposition parties at the national level are working to collate an united front against BJP ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
He said the Congress and other parties which ruled along with it for the last 50 years had neglected the farmers' issues. Under this government, farm loan waiver has only been used as a political tool.

Mumbai: The Congress has slammed the government for killing farmers in Madhya Pradesh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence on the issue.
To an allegation that the BJP was remote-controlling the AIADMK, he said, "you mean the BJP is behind all the three factions". Stating that he was not justifying the death of farmers in the firing, he said the Congress was forgetting that "24 farmers died in a police firing under the then Congress rule in Betul district in 1998".
Stating that India was "recognised" and "respected" at the worldwide level, he said the entire world is focusing on India. "Firstly, the BJP should understand that the Congress is not instigating this act of violence, but the farmers have not been getting their price from the Government, which the Centre should look into", he was quoted as saying by ANI.
Asked about the BJP's strategy for the Presidential polls, Naidu said the NDA will sit and discuss a plan. However, it wanted a consensus candidate for the president's post, he said. "In order to fulfil the promises made by former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, the AIADMK cadre have to unite and work hard, instead of blaming the BJP", he said.
