Political parties in Andhra Pradesh have been demanding a special category status to Andhra Pradesh and the Oppositon YSRCP is spearheading the moment.The Congress Party, which does not have a single MLA in the state, too is backing the idea. The TDP wants a special package in lieu of the special category state. The TDP MPs are agitating for the implementation of special package to the state. They have been protesting in Parliament over the ‘injustice’ done to the state.
On Friday, Rajya Sabha had to be adjourned due to the agitation by the MPs from the state.
