Breaking: TDP quits NDA; supports YSR Congress’ no-confidence motion against BJP

TDP today called a meeting of its politburo where it was also decided that the party will back YSR Congress’ decision to move a No-Confidence motion against the Modi government.

 

Days after pulling out from the NDA government led by Bharatiya Janata Party, Telugu Desam party has finally decided to quit the NDA coalition as well. TDP chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had decided to break away from the government after the Centre’s alleged ignorance towards the Special Status demand by the Andhra Pradesh.

The TDP MPs were upset with the Centre and PM Modi for quite a few years. However, after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley cleared last week that no special status will be granted to Andhra Pradesh, the TDP called for a party meeting and announced its decision. The new blow comes to BJP in the wake of already one ally-Shivsena abandoning the NDA coalition for 2019 Lok Sabha Election.

On the backdrop of the humiliating defeat of BJP at the hands of SP-BSP alliance and RJD in UP Bypolls and Bihar Bypolls, this development has delivered another setback for the party.
