Opportunity for BJP to grow in Andhra Pradesh: GVL Narasimha Rao on TDP's exit from NDA

New Delhi, Mar 16 (IBNS): With the exit of the Telegu Desam Party (TDP) from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which runs the central government, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is eyeing on to grow in TDP-ruled Andhra Pradesh.

TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday announced the exit of his party from the NDA over the demands of a special status for Andhra Pradesh.

Reacting to the political development, BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao said: "TDP's decision to quit was inevitable after its mischievous propaganda against Centre. People of AP have now realised that the TDP is resorting to lies to cover up its inept & inert governance.Far from being a threat, TDP's exit is a timely opportunity for the BJP to grow in AP."

The TDP leaders have also stated the relation with the BJP, which heads NDA, has ended.

The TDP has also stated the by-poll defeats of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh clearly state that people do not have confidence in the BJP.

The TDP has currently 16 MPs in the Lok Sabha.

Earlier, two TDP ministers, Ashok Gajapathi Raju and Y.S. Chowdary had resigned over the same issue following the order of party chief Naidu.

The TDP has also stated that it will pass a no-confidence motion against the BJP-led government in the parliament.
