Earlier in the day, few YSRCP MPs submitted their resignation from Lok Sabha to speaker Sumitra Mahajan to protest the "failure" of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government to grant special category status to Andhra Pradesh.
The YSRCP MPs like PV Midhun Reddy, Vara Prasada Rao V, Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy, and YS Avinash Reddy submitted their resignations.
Few more YSRCP MPs are likely to submit their resignation from Lok Sabha to Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
On March 31, YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy had announced that his party's MPs would quit and sit on indefinite hunger strike in New Delhi to press for the Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh.
