'Entire Andhra Pradesh is disappointed by Centre': CM N Chandrababu Naidu

Expressing his disappointment over NDA's victory in the no-confidence motion on Friday, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu said that the entire Andhra Pradesh was disappointed with the result.

He said: "Entire Andhra Pradesh waited for justice, only to be disappointed again. They have a majority but they breached ' neeti '. The Prime Minister's speech has caused much pain".

"As part of our continuous fight, we introduced this no-confidence motion. In the last four years, I went to Delhi 29 times. Instead of doing justice to AP, he is resorting political attack on me alleging I took U-turn. It is sad to see a man of the stature of PM is talking irresponsibly and cheap," Naidu added.

Naidu also claimed that it was the first time that all the opposition parties in the country came together against the Centre to support a No-Confidence Motion moved by a regional party.

He said that because TDP does not have the numbers, their demands and needs are not being met.

Earlier on July 15, Naidu wrote letters to non-BJP, non-Congress parties' presidents and Parliamentary party leaders seeking support on the No-Confidence Motion against the Centre over the demand for special category status to Andhra Pradesh.

The TDP had earlier made six-subgroups of the party leaders, who would meet and handover Naidu's letter and a booklet explaining the injustice done to the state and seek support.

The TDP pulled out its ministers from the BJP-led NDA coalition at the centre in March.
