Vijayawada: The fight for AP special status in the national capital saw YSRC MPs submit their resignation and TD MPs continue their protest in the Lok Sabha on Friday. YSRC MPs submitted their resignations and moved to AP Bhavan in Delhi for an indefinite hunger strike. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan said, “Naidu’s experience didn’t yield any result over awarding special status to the state.” Mr Naidu retorted during the address at the concluding day of the state Budget Sess-ion asking Mr Pawan to ‘see the development’ taking place in the state. “The Jana Sena chief has used this protest rally to gauge his strength in the capital and also succeeded in getting out of the image that he is the BJP’s man,” said a party leader, pointing to the party’s association with the Left.
