Naidu's Modi Fears Keep Him from Joining Opposition Alliance

Chandrababu Naidu fears Narendra Modi's power and influence, even during his imprisonment, preventing him from joining the opposition I.N.D.I.A. alliance.
Chandrababu believes Modi will likely win a 3rd term and doesn't want to damage future relations by opposing him now.
Chandrababu wants Central Government support if he returns to power in Andhra Pradesh, so doesn't want to antagonize Modi.
Chandrababu thinks he can more easily manage the I.N.D.I.A. alliance if they come to power versus Modi.
Despite Chandrababu's fear of Modi, his son Lokesh is trying to get I.N.D.I.A. support for his imprisoned father.
