TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu has asked the party’s MPs to intensify their protest for the special category status for Andhra Pradesh.
In a tele-conference with TDP MPs, Naidu said, “BJP is running away by repeatedly adjourning the House for these many days. If Parliament is adjourned sine die, MPs must meet the President. BJP is acting on the lines of divide and rule." Today was the last day of Parliament’s Budget Session.

In Amaravati, on Friday, the Andhra Pradesh chief minister led a cycle rally with his ministers and TDP legislators protesting the Centre's attitude towards the state regarding the implementation of the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014.
"The people of AP have not accepted BJP even now. Soon, there will be a day when BJP will be rejected by the entire country," said Naidu in a statement issued by his media cell.
"We will not step back until assurances made in the Rajya Sabha including Special Category Status and provisions of AP Reorganisation Act are fulfilled," he said.
Naidu pointed out that YSR Congress MPs did not take part in a protest held by his party MPs in the Parliament complex as it was a part of Jagan’s party’s collusion politics.
“In the past, some natives used to collude with Britishers. In the same way, YSRCP is now colluding with Centre,” stated Naidu.
On Thursday, TDP MPs protested in the Rajya Sabha chamber and refused to leave even after the house was adjourned for the day at around 2.30pm. They were then marshalled out at 8.15 pm along with the party’s Lok Sabha MPs who, in solidarity, protested in the Central Hall.
The TDP parted ways with the NDA last month alleging failure in fulfilling the promises made in the State Reorganisation Act.
