Alliance with BJP still on, but will fight for AP rights: TDP

March 10, 2018 20:28

TDP, which pulled out of the Modi government this week, today said it's alliance with BJP was still on, though it was 'severely hurt' by Finance Minister Arun Jaitleys remarks on assistance to Andhra Pradesh.

It also described as 'unethical', the demand by YSR Congress asking the TDP to move a no-confidence motion against the NDA government at the Centre.

State Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu also told reporters that TDP has decided to 'expose' the Centre on what it has done or not done to the state -- as promised in the AP

Reorganisation Act, 2014 -- by putting out relevant facts and figures before the people.

He said this after a meeting Chief Minister and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu held with him, senior minister K Kala Venkata Rao and others.

For the record, Yanamala said TDP's alliance with BJP was 'still on'.
