Chandrababu Naidu: Narendra Modi, KCR and Jagan Reddy. We're establishing a case.

Prannoy Roy: What about alliance with regional parties? Do you want to be PM?

Chandrababu Naidu: I am not an aspirant. We'll work together post-election. Earlier also, we've never named the Prime Minister.

Shekhar Gupta: Are all three rivals together, according to you?

Chandrababu Naidu: They're all one. PM Modi is protecting Jagan, KCR is supporting Jagan. If you ask people, they'll say they're all one.

Chandrababu Naidu: Ultimately, no one can touch our votes.
