TDP quits NDA alliance, announces N Chandrababu Naidu
New Delhi, Mar 16 (IBNS): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday announced that his Telugu Desam Party will quit the National Democratic Alliance.
Naidu tweeted on Friday morning to confirm the move.
Relationship between the Centre and Naidu received a blow over the demands of a special status to be granted to Andhra Pradesh.
The TDP has decided to quit the alliance after the centre refused to grant special status to Andhra Pradesh.
Recently, the TDP walked out of the NDA ministry over the demands of a special status to the southeastern state but stayed in the alliance then.
TDP ministers Ashok Gajapathi Raju and Y.S. Chowdary resigned following the orders of their party chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
Chowdary was the Minister of State in for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences in the BJP-led central government.
TDP might even support Jaganmohan Reddy's no-trust motion against the Narendra Modi-led Central government.
