He accused Congress and other opposition leaders of being intolerant of people's mandate to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. <br/><br/>Mr. Naidu also attacked the authors over returning of awards and said the move is aimed at maligning the image of NDA government. The Minister said that Prime Minister does not want anything that may divert government's attention from development.
