TDP dumps NDA, Narendra Modi's troubles to increase

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

TDP today called a meeting of its politburo where it was also decided that the party will back YSR Congress’ decision to move No-Confidence motion against the Modi government. The YSR Congress MP YV Subba Reddy had notified the Lok Sabha Secretary-General on Thursday to move the no-confidence motion in the Council of Ministers. He had also requested that it should be included in the list of business on Friday.

While Chandrababu Naidu did not miss the chance to criticize the YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy he reiterated that for the people of Andhra Pradesh he will support the no-confidence motion put forth by the party.
