Likening the PM’s speech to a blockbuster movie, Srinivas said, “I thank Prime Minister for him as usual great oratory skills. The one and half hour speech were like a Bollywood blockbuster. Great drama. Great action.”

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 90-minute speech, TDP MP Kesineni Srinivas had sought 30 minutes to respond but Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan permitted just five minutes.

The TDP had brought the motion against the government over perceived “injustice” with Andhra Pradesh vis-a-vis allocation of resources in the wake of bifurcation of the state in 2014.
