Andhra Pradesh's Telugu Desam party pulled out its ministers from
being part of the NDA cabinet late on Wednesday night March 07,2018, just a couple of
hours after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley ruled out the possibility of grant of Special Category Status (SCS) for the State.
TDP Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju and Minister of State Y.S. Chowdary will resign from the Govt on Thursday March 08,2018, TDP President and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu announced.
However, Mr. Naidu clarified that TDP will not be quitting NDA just yet.
"The Centre has been taking one sided decisions and our patience has run out now. When the purpose of joining the union cabinet hasn’t been fulfilled, it’s best to resign now," Mr. Naidu tweeted after announcing the decision, adding that he had tried reaching out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi but the latter had been "unavailable". "It's a crucial time. We have to stand, we have to fight, we have to get it done," he added.
